My understanding is that there was a 10 year period starting around 1868, in which South Carolina’s legislature was mostly black, and when the universities were integrated (causing most white students to leave), before the Dixiecrats regained power.
I would like to find a relatively non-partisan account of this period.

Anyone have suggestions?
I would just read W. E. B. Du Bois—Black Reconstruction in America (1935)
