Elliott about the history of africanamericans in dmong the 19th century and a sea of artifacts from the house collection. The story of how africanamericans come to congress in the 19th century is not one a lot of people are familiar with. We actually have 22 africanamericans serve between 1870 and 1901. 20 in the house. 2 in the senate. Largely a house story. And it has to do with the role of congress during the civil war, and in the decade after.

Well move to the next slide. The fourth is consensus building, followed by trust or credibility, luck, and then im going to throw in, which is on the last sli
What has motivated you to write this. Who is the intended audience and what purpose . I became interested in the leftward drift of the Democratic Party because it seems to me to be quite radical. Not just for the Democratic Party before the country. I had been a democrat in my College Years and shortly thereafter.
