What was the political party of most of the african americans elected to public office during reconstruction

The political party that most of the African Americans elected to public office during reconstruction was the Republican Party.

After the Civil War, the southern states did not want to grant full citizenship to the African-Americans who had been slaves and Johnson did not want to force them; the Congress of the United States, dominated by the radical republicans, passed over the authority of the President and used the Army to impose provisional governments in the ex-rebel states. It also approved the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States to guarantee equality between whites and African-Americans, including the right to vote for them; and forced the southern states to ratify them. Johnson vetoed the measures, but Congress rejected his vetoes and even tried to dismiss him.

Thanks to the reforms, and to the prohibition imposed on the whites of the South so that they could not vote until their past rebelliousness was forgiven and they accepted the legal changes; the republicans gained control of the southern states with the votes of the African Americans, and that, added to their majority in the northern states, guaranteed them the control of power (almost as a single party). This situation lasted a few years.

the mongolian invasion of china and central asia resulted in a disruption of the silk road as the chinese garrisons lost support from the chinese kingdoms which fell under the mongols. however, as the mongols established a formal dynasty in china, the successors of genghis khan restored the garrisons along the silk road allowing the safe travel caravans again.

the federalist party which advocated strong centralization dominated the united states government till 1800. so 1800 election transformed the power from one party to another party for the first time and was thus a turning point in american history. so jefferson called it "revolution of 1800".
