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?

Loyal Confederates, with few exceptions, were not allowed to hold public office.
