ANSWER:The Southern states denied African-Americans the right to vote.
Southern states implemented a variety of laws and practices to restrict African Americans socially, particularly through Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation in public spaces, schools, and transportation. These laws created a system of discrimination that limited African Americans' access to quality education, employment opportunities, and public services. Additionally, social customs and violence, including lynching and intimidation by groups like the Ku Klux Klan, reinforced the subjugation of African Americans and maintained white supremacy in the South. Together, these measures created a pervasive atmosphere of oppression and inequality.

No one in the South gained influence during the Civil War; the Union victory left the South shattered economically, politically, and socially. However post-war, two groups known as the 'Carpetbaggers' and the 'Scalliwags" became very influential.
