This historical document, "Mississippi: Testimony as to Denial of Elective Franchise in Mississippi at the Elections of 1875 and 1876," presents the findings of the United States Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections regarding the denial of voting rights in Mississippi. The testimony was collected under the Senate Resolution of December 5, 1876, and provides critical insight into the challenges faced during the Reconstruction era.

The report offers a detailed examination of the electoral processes and potential disenfranchisement of voters in Mississippi during the elections of 1875 and 1876. It sheds light on the political climate and the struggles to ensure fair and equal participation in the democratic process following the Civil War. This volume is an invaluable resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the complexities of American Reconstruction and the fight for civil rights.
