[A] former US congressman, a Black man named Thomas Miller, described Reconstruction’s heyday in the state between 1868 and 1876: “We were eight years in power. We had built schoolhouses, established charitable institutions, built and maintained the penitentiary system, provided for the education of the deaf and dumb, rebuilt the ferries. In short, we had reconstructed the State and placed it upon the road to prosperity.”
