"If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.” – Abraham Lincoln

![Page 38: Reconstruction and rights 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552c5cab4c905920f8b4be2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The 13th, 14th & 15th Amendments, known as Reconstruction Amendments, were designed to
ensure the rights and freedom of
• Former slaves
![Page 39: Reconstruction and rights 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552c5cab4c905920f8b4be2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• After Reconstruction ended, African Americans returned to plantations owned by whites,
• where they worked for wages or became tenant farmers, paying rent for the land they farmed.
![Page 40: Reconstruction and rights 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552c5cab4c905920f8b4be2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Most tenant farmers ended up becoming sharecroppers.
• They paid a share of their crops to cover their rent and farming costs.
• Although sharecropping allowed African American farmers to control their own work schedule and working conditions, it also trapped them in poverty because they could not make enough money to pay off their debts and buy their own land.
![Page 41: Reconstruction and rights 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552c5cab4c905920f8b4be2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Disenfranchisement- To deny privileges, protection, and especially the right to vote– Poll Taxes- Tax paid if you
wanted to vote. Many African Americans could not afford to pay this tax
– Literacy Tests- A test was given in order to register to vote. These tests were designed to make anyone fail if they wanted them to.
– Grandfather Clauses- Since the imposition of those requirements also could impact the number of poor whites voting, Southern legislatures introduced the “grandfather clause," which exempted voters from the restrictions if their grandfathers had voted. This clearly eliminated the blacks.
![Page 42: Reconstruction and rights 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552c5cab4c905920f8b4be2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Literacy tests were used to keep people of color -- and sometimes poor whites --from voting. They were administered at the discretion of the officials in charge of voter registration. If the official wanted a person to pass, he could ask the easiest question on the test – for example, "Who is the president of the United States?"
• The same official might require a black person to answer every single question correctly, in an unrealistic amount of time, in order to pass.
![Page 43: Reconstruction and rights 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552c5cab4c905920f8b4be2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Civil Rights Act of 1875• “all persons…shall be entitled to
the full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations…of inns, public conveyances on land or water, theaters, and other places of public amusement.”
• The act was declared unconstitutional in 1883 by an all-white Supreme Court.
![Page 45: Reconstruction and rights 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/5552c5cab4c905920f8b4be2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
