Southern states were able to enact measures to disenfranchise African Americans and enforce segregation due to a combination of political, social, and legal factors. The end of Reconstruction in the 1870s allowed white supremacist groups to regain power and implement Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation. The Supreme Court’s decisions, such as Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, upheld these discriminatory practices by endorsing the "separate but equal" doctrine. Additionally, economic disparities and a culture of racism further facilitated the marginalization of African Americans in southern society.
