Available at: https://stars.library.ucf.edu/fhq/vol45/iss2/6 Shofner: Political Reconstruction in Florida POLITICAL RECONSTRUCTION IN FLORIDA by JERRELL H. SHOFNER NTIL WELL INTO the 1930s historians accepted as standard U the interpretations of Reconstruction offered by the “Dunning school.” Professor William A. Dunning and his students at Colum- bia University had undertaken extensive research in preparing scholarly monographs on the Reconstruction period in each south- ern state. But they wrote at a time when most Americans consid- ered Negroes as inferior beings and their studies usually began with this basic assumption. It usually followed that the Con- gressional Radicals had been wrong in all they attempted. Helpless white populations had been subjugated by selfish outsiders who plundered the states, using ignorant Negro voters to maintain control. Since it was fundamentally wrong to assume the Negroes should vote, it had been regrettably necessary that the native whites employ severe measures including violence to “redeem” their states from “Radical rule.” This interpretation has since been revised and many historians now agree that Republican administrations, faced with overwhelm- ing obstacles, contributed much that was beneficial to the south- ern states.

PEEK ILLIAM DUNNINGTON BLOXHAM was the first Democrat to win a high elective office in Florida following Congres- sional Reconstruction. Just twenty-eight months after the end of military rule in the state this native Florida conservative was elected lieutenant governor. However, he was denied the fruits of victory for more than eighteen months. After tedious litigation he was finally awarded the office by the Florida Supreme Court and was inaugurated June 3, 1872. It is remarkable that some of the most prominent historians of Reconstruction in Florida, including William Watson Davis and John Wallace, fail to mention Bloxham’s victory. An even more remarkable omission is the fact that the case is not even mentioned in the reports of cases before the supreme court.

SHOFNER OR A FEW WEEKS following the 1876 election, Florida’s role F in national affairs was greater than the state’s four electoral votes would normally warrant. With the presidency depending on one electoral vote and the Florida election in doubt, both the Democratic and Republican parties concentrated attention on the electoral count in Tallahassee. The activities of influential “visiting statesmen” representing the national parties affected the decision of the state canvassing board and caused temporary excitement in Florida. After their departure and the ultimate resolution of the election dispute, political affairs in the state returned to normal with little permanent influence from the visitors or the events sur- rounding their visit.
