Question

How did officials in Louisiana and other southern states get around the 15th Amendment and disenfranchise blacks and poor whites?

They created voting locations that blacks and poor whites had no access to so that they were unable to vote.

They passed legislation that forced anyone of African American descent to be declared non-citizens, so they were unable to vote.

They declared their states independent and determined that the 15th Amendment was inapplicable to them.

They instituted literacy and property ownership requirements that were meant to legally keep them from voting.

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Things like literacy tests, at a time when many Black Americans didn't receive an education, were a common practice to make sure that newly freed slaves still couldn't vote. another common thing was a fee to vote, which was usually not worth paying for the generally very poor Black American community
