Why did the civil war amendments do little to protect the rights of african americans?
Civil War amendments did little to protect the rights of African Americans due to southern state adopting "Jim Crow laws". These laws demanded strict segregation in all public places.

Ferguson institutionalized the racism by deciding that since the segregation had nothing to do with slavery, it was not prohibited by the Constitution.
