B.
During Reconstruction (1865–1877) Black men in South Carolina were granted citizenship and voting rights (14th and 15th Amendments) and many were elected to local, state, and federal office. After Reconstruction white Democrats regained control and used violence, intimidation, and laws (poll taxes, literacy tests, the 1895 South Carolina constitution, etc.) to strip Black people of those political rights.
