Slaves had no rights - they were considered "property"
The African slaves were totally disenfranchised before the Civil War. They had no rights. They were basically treated like animals, and died by the masses.
Because most Southern blacks were slaves, and there weren't the civil rights issues.
By definition, a slave has no rights. This was certainly true in the South from 1820 (and long before) until emancipation at the end of the Civil War.
The Civil War led to the passage of some basic civil rights amendments. Notably, the 13th amendments freed the slaves from captivity.
