During Reconstruction, various groups were systematically banned from voting in the South, primarily through discriminatory laws and practices. African American men, despite being granted the right to vote by the 15th Amendment, faced significant obstacles such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and intimidation. Additionally, many poor white voters were also disenfranchised through similar means, although some states implemented "grandfather clauses" to exempt them. These tactics were part of a broader effort to suppress Black political power and maintain white supremacy in the region.

Where was the most Political corruption during the Reconstruction era?

im not an expert but after the war congress banned former confederates from voting and holding office. so many of the people who did get into office were unquailfied.along with carpetbaggers(often con men) and radical rebpublicans the south's politics degraded into embezlement,fraud and other such offences. so in my opinion most corruption was in places of power.go figure;)
