description: "Richard Coke was an American lawyer and politician. He was the 15th governor of Texas from 1874 to 1876 and was a US Senator from 1877 to 1895. His governorship is notable for reestablishing local white supremacist rule in Texas, and the disfranchisement of African American voters, following Reconstruction. Richard Coke was revered by many Texas Southern Democrats due to his perceived triumphs over Reconstruction era Federal control in Texas politics. He was a part of the Redeemers movement in Southern US politics. His uncle was US Representative Richard Coke Jr."
