Georgia Constitutional Convention of 1867–1868

The 1867–1868 Georgia State Constitutional Convention was held for the purpose of constructing a constitution for the state following the end of the American Civil War. Held in Atlanta, the convention started on December 9, 1867 and ran through March 1868.

Its delegates included 137 white men and 33 African American men. It was the first constitutional convention to involve the participation of African-American delegates. It created a new constitution for Georgia that included suffrage for African-American males; this was a mandate of the congressional Reconstruction Acts.
