White Southerners were unable to avoid the Fifteenth Amendment, which granted African American men the right to vote, due to federal enforcement and the pressure of Reconstruction policies. Despite their attempts to circumvent the amendment through discriminatory practices like literacy tests and poll taxes, the amendment legally protected the voting rights of Black citizens. Additionally, the presence of federal troops and the Republican-led governments in the South during this period limited their ability to suppress Black voter participation. Ultimately, the amendment marked a significant, though contested, step toward African American enfranchisement.

White Southerners circumvented the Fifteenth Amendment, which granted African American men the right to vote, through various discriminatory practices. They implemented literacy tests, poll taxes, and understanding clauses, which disproportionately disenfranchised Black voters. Additionally, intimidation and violence, often carried out by groups like the Ku Klux Klan, further suppressed Black electoral participation. These tactics effectively maintained white supremacy in the political system despite the constitutional protections afforded by the amendment.

The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments significantly transformed the lives of Southerners, particularly African Americans. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery, granting freedom to millions, while the Fourteenth Amendment provided citizenship and equal protection under the law, challenging existing racial hierarchies. The Fifteenth Amendment aimed to secure voting rights for African American men, further empowering them politically. However, these amendments also led to resistance and backlash from many white Southerners, resulting in the emergence of Jim Crow laws and systemic racism that sought to undermine these rights.
