after the passage of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments, why did African Americans continue to experience political oppression?

1 answer

Even after the passage of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, African Americans continued to experience political oppression due to the implementation of Jim Crow laws, which were designed to limit the political and economic power of African Americans. These laws included poll taxes, literacy tests, and grandfather clauses, which were used to prevent African Americans from voting. Additionally, African Americans were subject to racial segregation, which limited their access to education, employment, and other resources.
