How were the civil and political rights of certain groups in America undermined during the years after reconstruction?
After Reconstruction, the southern states took actions that violated the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Reconstruction amendments, and the government let them do it. African Americans' right to citizenship was nullified, Black Codes effectively defied the Fourteenth Amendment by denying them liberty, freedom, and any of the rights associated with citizenship. The Black codes forced them, in many instances, to work on the same plantations they had been slaves on, and in some cases even call their former owners, 'Master' again. This violated the Thirteenth Amendment which abolished slavery. Attempts for African American men to vote were put down by the states instituting literacy tests, and poll taxes aimed at making it impossible to for them to vote. This violated the Fifteenth Amendment which provided suffrage for all African American men.

How did the southern states bypass the 13th amendment?
Amendment XIII (13) abolished slavery, which was a huge factor of the Southern United States' economy. The Southern United States relied on slaves to work many large plantations and farms the grew primarily cotton, but also grains, tobacco, and many other cash crops. The 13th amendment also did not repay slave owners for their slaves; many plantation owners were now left with huge plots of land and no one to work them, and their whole lives' worth of investments (their slaves) were gone. Slaves were very expensive -- nearing $1750, which would be the equivalent of around $40,000 in today's money.
