Southern states employed various strategies to limit the impact of Reconstruction-era constitutional amendments, particularly the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. They enacted Black Codes, which restricted the rights and freedoms of African Americans, and implemented literacy tests, poll taxes, and understanding clauses to disenfranchise Black voters.
