Black Codes
Under Congressional Reconstruction, Southern states were required to draft new constitutions that guaranteed civil rights and suffrage for African American men. They had to ratify the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal protection under the law, and the 15th Amendment, which prohibited denying the right to vote based on race. Additionally, Southern states had to be governed by military oversight until they complied with these requirements and demonstrated a commitment to the Reconstruction policies.
The poll tax was proof that tax payments were made. Poll taxes were required in many Southern states in order to vote.
The four Reconstruction Acts, passed by Congress in 1867, were known as the First Reconstruction Act, the Second Reconstruction Act, the Third Reconstruction Act, and the Fourth Reconstruction Act. These acts aimed to establish military governance in the Southern states, ensure the civil rights of freedmen, and set the conditions for re-admittance of the Southern states into the Union. They required states to create new constitutions guaranteeing voting rights to African American men and to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment.
The New State Constitution was successful during Reconstruction. It made the southern states write new laws that outlawed slavery. former slaves feared less of the southern states.
