HELLP!! After the Civil War, these Amendments secured Civil Rights and the Right to Vote for African American Men. What are two ways the "New South" fought against these amendments, and attempted to steal rights away from American citizens based on race?

Answer:

After the Civil War, 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment secured Civil Rights and the Right to Vote for African American Men.

Step-by-step explanation:

The black codes and terrorising through lynching and KKK attempted to steal rights from American citizens based n race.

But new changes were not welcomed well in New South because Southerners believed that African Americans were to be controlled and regulated rather than setting them free. The South issued sets of Black Codes called Jim Crow Laws to separate African Americans from the whites.

The Ku Klax Klan activities like beating, lynching, and hanging blacks gave its notorious reputation in the South. They aimed to bring back white supremacy in the South.
