Describe the significance of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

2. Bell Work Answer
Thirteenth amendment - ratified in it abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime - though the amendment abolished slavery in the United States, factors such as the Black Codes, white supremacist violence from groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, and the economic hardships of the Reconstruction era kept many of the newly freed slaves in a state of involuntary servitude (sharecropping and tenant farming) Fourteenth amendment - ratified in the amendment gave citizenship rights and equal protection of the law to African-Americans (ex-slaves) - it was passed in response to discrimination against African-Americans in the southern states during Reconstruction - it made it illegal for a state to "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws" Fifteenth Amendment - ratified in 1870, it was the third, and last, of the Reconstruction amendments - the amendment prohibits the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude" - the amendment gave voting rights to all African-American males in the United States

“Rutherfraud”
By 1876, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida were the only states that still had garrisons of federal troops supporting the Republican state governments through force of arms. All three states had disputed election returns due to massive fraud by both parties. An Electoral Commission, voting on party lines, certified the election for Hayes, who had been twenty votes shy of victory (while Tilden had been only one vote shy). Democrats in Congress staged a filibuster in protest, but a compromise was reached in which the Democrats would accept the result in return for the removal of federal troops from the South and a promise from Hayes not to intervene in the Southern states’ internal politics (i.e., not enforcing the Fifteenth Amendment).

Explain what is meant by the term "Black Codes." You MUST use complete sentences in your answer.

51. Bell Work Answer
Black Codes were instituted immediately after the Civil War ended. They were created by state governments in the South to regulate the lives of the former slaves. They varied from state to state, but often included the following:  - All public facilities were segregated - All freedmen were required to have jobs and proof of employment  - Freedmen could not assemble without the presence of a white person - Freedmen were not to be taught to read or write In essence, pre-war slavery had been reinstituted under these Black Codes. The Freedmen’s Bureau was created- in part- to halt enforcement of these laws. Reconstruction did spell these end of the Black Codes, but when Reconstruction itself ended many of these elements would reappear in Jim Crow legislation. Students should not confuse the Black Codes with Jim Crow.

Describe the methods used to disfranchise African-American voters in the early 1900's. You must use complete sentences when writing your response.

54. Disfranchisement: methods used to take away voting rights from African-Americans. Because the Fifteenth Amendment guaranteed Blacks the right to vote, state legislatures passed laws which technically applied to everyone, but had the consequence of making it impossible for African-Americans to exercise their right to vote. Poll tax -required that voters pay a tax before they were allowed to vote -although the amount was small, it discouraged many Blacks and poor whites from voting White Primary -a primary election is held by a political party to decide who will be their party's candidate in a general election -African-Americans were allowed to vote in the general election, but not in the primary; thus their choices of who to vote for were limited to candidates "pre-selected" by white voters Literacy tests -first used in 1908, required voters to demonstrate the ability to read and write before being allowed to vote -under slavery, it had been illegal to teach Blacks to read or write; during Reconstruction efforts to educate the former slaves had been limited. Thus, many African-Americans could not qualify to vote -because many whites were also illiterate during this era, the law provided them with exemptions from being tested Grandfather clause -stated that any person who had served in the U.S. or Confederate armies, or was a descendant of someone who had, was exempt from any limitations on voting. Most white southerners were thus exempt from any of the disfranchisement practices.
