The United States Senate is the upper chamber of the United States Congress,which along with the United States House of Representatives—the lower chamber—comprises the legislative branch of the federal government of the United States. Like its counterpart,the Senate was established by the United States Constitution and convened for its first meeting on March 4,1789 at Federal Hall in New York City. The history of the institution begins prior to that date,at the 1787 Constitutional Convention,in James Madison's Virginia Plan,which proposed a bicameral national legislature,and in the controversial Connecticut Compromise,a 5–4 vote that gave small-population states disproportionate power in the Senate.
More than 1,500 African American officeholders served during the Reconstruction era (1865–1877) and in the years after Reconstruction before white supremacy,disenfranchisement,and the Democratic Party fully reasserted control in Southern states.

The following is a partial list of notable African American officeholders from the end of the Civil War until before 1900. Dates listed are the year that a term states or the range of years served if multiple terms.
During the American Civil War,the State of Ohio played a key role in providing troops,military officers,and supplies to the Union army. Due to its central location in the Northern United States and burgeoning population,Ohio was both politically and logistically important to the war effort. Despite the state's boasting a number of very powerful Republican politicians,it was divided politically. Portions of Southern Ohio followed the Peace Democrats and openly opposed President Abraham Lincoln's policies. Ohio played an important part in the Underground Railroad prior to the war,and remained a haven for escaped and runaway slaves during the war years.

A member of the United States Senate can resign by writing a letter of resignation to the governor of the state that the senator represents. Under Article I,Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States,and under the Seventeenth Amendment,in case of a vacancy in the Senate resulting from resignation,the executive authority of the state can make a temporary appointment to fill the vacancy if so authorized by the state legislature. A special election may follow depending on timing and state law. Whenever a senator needs to be appointed or elected,the Secretary of the Senate mails one of three forms to the state's governor to inform that person of the proper wording to certify the appointment of a new Senator.
