Elections in South Carolina |
---|
The 1865 South Carolina gubernatorial election was held on October 18, 1865, to elect the governor of South Carolina.[1] It was the first election in which the voters of South Carolina were able to directly choose the governor as a result of the ratification of the South Carolina Constitution of 1865. However, the constitution only permitted for white men to cast ballots, with blacks being forbidden from voting.
