Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most Southern African Americans who held political power during Reconstruction concentrated their efforts on educational and political reforms. They worked to establish public schools and campaigned for equal rights, including for voting and holding office. While there were instances of corruption, as with any political era, overall there is no evidence to support that they were more corrupt than their white counterparts. Additionally, pushing for massive land restriction or using the Freedmen's Bureau to oppress ex-Confederates were not common goals or actions of these leaders.
