The persistent violence against Blacks and voting sent a message to the Republican Party. They passed the 15th amendment to the US Constitution barring race as a test for voting. The amendment said nothing about a state's right to determine requirements for voting other than race. This was a loophole that southern states would exploit for many decades to limit Black voting.
