Margaret Garb s "Freedom s Ballot" reveals how black political power became formalized in Chicago following Emancipation. Garb shows how the broad political allegiances of the Civil War gave way to local race-conscious organizing, with blackness itself coming to the fore as a defining political quality and strength.
