Group of answer choices

Were prevented from running for office

None of the above

Answer 1

Won many high offices

Step-by-step explanation:

During the elections in the American South of 1867 and 1868, African-Americans were allowed to vote and won many high offices, including seats in Congress, state legislatures, and governorships. However, their political gains were short-lived as they were soon subjected to violent intimidation and the imposition of restrictive laws that limited their ability to participate in the political process. The rise of white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the implementation of Jim Crow laws effectively disenfranchised African-American voters and cemented white political dominance in the South for decades to come.
