    Southern African Americans lose rights in the years after the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments as the South enacted Jim Crow laws, making serious discrimination legal and accepted.

    Answer: Option C

    Explanation:

    After Civil War, Southern States passed black codes which curtailed the freedom of African-Americans to a great extent. But these codes led to the rise of radical republicanism as a result of which many Amendments were made in the constitution to ensure racial equality among all.

    But southern states passed Jim Crow Laws for enforcing racial segregation and hence defeating the purpose of the Amendments. These laws created racial discrimination at the public places and transportation. Facilities for black people and Native Americans were of inferior quality and very poorly funded.
