Epilogue
Epilogue
This chapter describes how the destruction of a legitimate role for black politics eroded the possibility that black Republicans might be effective representatives of black America. As the stalwart Republican generation began to pass away in the mid- and late 1920s, a new one emerged. Equally hardworking, this group of men and women was shaped by federal segregation, the disappointments following World War I, and the rise of a Republican regime that had no political or ideological connection to abolitionism or Radical Republicanism. Whereas the previous generation had funneled its racial consciousness into Republican politics and U.S. citizenship, the new one founded its identity upon black pride, transnational connections to people of color, and opposition to rigid white hate.
Keywords: black politics, black Republicans, black America, Republican generation, federal segregation, Republican regime, abolitionism, Radical Republicanism
