Rhode Island Voter Proscription Sparsely Recounted in 1880s
Figures from the Tenth Census and American Almanac show Rhode Island leading in voter disfranchisement in 1880 with 88 percent abstaining, while South Carolina had 4 percent. By 1884 Rhode Island still led in disfranchisement at 40 percent, Florida at 99 percent, with Massachusetts at 60 percent. The text argues that disfranchisement is a state issue, and Rhode Island’s continued defiance of public sentiment and Congress is noted as fueling Republican backing for its stance.
