Part of the criteria for acquiring the status of being “reconstructed” for a southern state was to ratify and adopt the “Civil Rights Amendments” which are the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. These amendments radically altered southern society and the status of freed slaves and were difficult to accept. As a result southern states pursued various methods and legislation to circumvent the Civil Rights Amendments. The first site lists the content of the amendments and as you examine each of then consider how it impacted southern states. The remaining sites focus on how the south “legally” circumvented the amendments. The first site pertains to the 13th amendment, the next two sites to the 14th and the last site to the 15th.
“Civil Rights Amendments (Links to an external site.)”
“Sharecropping (Links to an external site.)” (13th amendment)
“Plessy v. Ferguson 1896 (Links to an external site.)" (14th amendment)
“Berea College v. Kentucky 1908 (Links to an external site.)" (14th amendment)
“Williams v. Mississippi 1898 (Links to an external site.)" (15th amendment)
