B. They passed Jim Crow laws limiting the right to vote.

After the end of Reconstruction, Southern governments implemented Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation and implemented various measures to disenfranchise African Americans, such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and understanding clauses. This effectively limited their voting rights and other civil liberties.
