Title A name given to the resource Southern Types-The Wolf and the Lamb in Politics Subject The topic of the resource African Americans, politics, race relations Description An account of the resource Like many white Southerners, white Virginians feared that African American support would lead to Radical Republican domination in state politics. Hostile whites described African American voters as easily manipulated by unscrupulous northerners (called carpetbaggers) and their rapacious local accomplices (called scalawags), but such beliefs were unwarranted, and many former slaves and free blacks achieved remarkable success considering the disadvantages under which they labored and the impediments that they often faced in the decades after emancipation.

Title A name given to the resource Petit Jury Pool for the May 1867 session of the United States Circuit Court, District of Virginia Subject The topic of the resource African Americans, civil rights Description An account of the resource These two photographs show some of Virginia's first interracial jury members. In May 1867, the United States Circuit Court for the District of Virginia appointed a grand jury composed of African American and white men. The court also named African American and white men to the venire (jury pool) from which petit juries were named for trials held during the court's term. The twenty-four men in these photographs were members of the petit jury pool and many or all of them sat on trial juries between May and September 1867. These men have been sometimes mistakenly identified as either the grand jury or the petit jury for the trial of Jefferson Davis, but he was indicted by an jury composed of white men in 1866 and was released on bond in May 1867 and never tried.
