Though black men were elected and appointed to political positions during Reconstruction, they failed to exercise any significant power. Why not? A. They never controlled the top political position in any state; none were head of any major committees in the House or Senate. B. Most Black officials were former slaves and lacked the formal education required to be effective leaders. C. KKK intimidation caused most Black politicians to vote for candidates who wanted a return to "Home Rule"/States Rights and end the Military Districts. D. Political power for politicians was based on one's ability to pay the required fees of an important position; Blacks lacked this ability.
