What changes in southern state governments were made because of reconstruction and the passage of the Fifteenth amendment?
During Reconstruction, southern state governments underwent significant changes, including the establishment of new state constitutions that expanded civil rights and voting access for African American men, thanks to the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment. This amendment prohibited states from denying the right to vote based on race, leading to increased political participation among Black citizens. As a result, many African Americans were elected to local, state, and federal offices, fundamentally altering the political landscape in the South. However, these gains were met with resistance and ultimately led to the imposition of Jim Crow laws and other discriminatory practices in the following decades.
