The correct answer is:
**a. Jim Crow laws were in effect**
After the disbandment of the Ku Klux Klan in the late 19th century, Jim Crow laws were enacted in the Southern states, institutionalizing racial segregation and disenfranchising African Americans despite the legal protections provided by the Reconstruction Amendments. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which aimed to secure rights for freedmen, were often undermined by these discriminatory laws.
