southern states created loopholes to prevent african americans from voting
The Southern states kept African Americans from gaining political power by denying them an education. They also passed laws to keep them down. They were not allowed to own property and most of them could not read or write.
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.

Hiram Rhodes Revels (September 27, 1827[1] - January 16, 1901) was the first African American to serve in the United States Senate. Since he preceded any African American in the House, he was the first African American in the U.S. Congress as well. He represented Mississippi in 1870 and 1871 during Reconstruction. As of 2009, Revels is one of only six African Americans ever to have served in the United States Senate.
