Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Many southern states reacted poorly to the 15th Amendment. In an attempt to circumvent the 15th Amendment, some states instituted a poll tax, charging money for the right to vote. This impacted both African Americans, who were excluded from most well-paying jobs, and poor white citizens.
Detailed explanation-2: -The 15th Amendment, which sought to protect the voting rights of Black men after the Civil War, was adopted into the U.S. Constitution in 1870. Despite the amendment, within a few years numerous discriminatory practices were used to prevent Black citizens from exercising their right to vote, especially in the South.
