This research paper: This is a 6 page paper discussing Robert Meacham and his influence during the Reconstruction era in Florida in the 19th century. Robert Meacham (1835-1902) was a Reverend and Senator during the Reconstruction Era in Florida in the 19th century. As a Reverend, Meacham organized the first African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Florida in Tallahassee in 1865. The AME Church valued not only Christian education and opportunity but also education and opportunity for all which was reflected in its activities. In addition to providing educational programs within the church, Meacham was involved with the registration of black voters in the state and by the time he became Senator, there were more black voters registered than white and a great many African American representatives in state government. Through his Republican Party alliances, Meacham and his colleagues were able to legislate notable progress in the areas of civil rights and education for African Americans and poor whites.
