After U.S. president Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, most Albany whites supported secession, and several Confederate military units were put together. Although some of Albany's soldiers experienced the horrors of Civil War (1861-65) battles in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere, southwest Georgia itself escaped the ravages of armed conflict. The end of slavery, however, brought revolutionary changes to the region. In 1867-68 more than 2,400 black men in Albany and Dougherty County registered to vote. Whites in Albany resisted black emancipation through threats and voting fraud, and by 1915 they had succeeded in reducing the number of registered black voters in Albany to twenty-eight.
