What did it mean for a state to disenfranchise in the south after the civil war?
The "franchise" is the right to vote; to "disenfranchise" means to deny someone the right to vote. In the south after the war, during reconstruction, white men generally were not allowed to vote, and the freed slaves were allowed to vote. As soon as reconstruction was over whites regained political power and though various laws (poll taxes, literacy tests) again disenfranchised the blacks. (No women could vote until 1920).
How did the voter requirements set by some southern states after the civil war circumvent the fifteenth amendment?
Following the Civil War, the southern legislatures, established under President Johnson's plan for reconstruction, expected the newly freed Blacks to continue to be the backbone of southern agriculture. The Blacks wanted the work but they also expected their Civil Rights. Instead, Southern Legislatures enacted Black Codes. These were laws designed to limit the rights of the Blacks and in all the Southern States, blacks were not granted the right to vote. An example of the Black Codes were laws that said a person could register to vote only if his grandfather had been registered to vote. In some states, blacks were forbidden by law to live in cities or towns. Another law allowed blacks to work only in agriculture or as domestic servants.
