Abstract

African American landlords in the post-Civil War American South have been underrepresented in historical accounts. The landlords were relatively few in number, but they had significant impact on the African American community. African American landlords acted as spokespersons for the community, negotiated with whites about political matters and offered better opportunities to black laborers than white landlords did.
