When did all the Yankees leave?

To hear y'all talk we never have. Regardless, blaming it all on the Yankees, while typical, is sheer nonsense. All those 'sable warriors' and that was the thanks they got.

Confederates were barred from holding office - yes or no. So who crafted those laws against blacks?

If memory serves, the Republicans in power instituted military governments in the South, and forced them to rewrite their constitutions, and then approved of their new governments filled with carpetbaggers. Loyal Confederates, with few exceptions, were not allowed to hold public office.
