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.
