Which statement best summarizes the experience of african american voters in the south? african americans had no voting rights from the end of the civil war until the passage of the voting rights act of 1965. african americans lost the voting rights they had in reconstruction but regained them from the voting rights act of 1965. southern states tried to eliminate african american voting rights, but african americans found ways to vote anyway. african american voters elected politicians who then repealed the laws that restricted african american voting.

African Americans lost the voting rights they had in Reconstruction but regained them from the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Explanation:

The Fifteenth amendment to the Constitution already gave African men right to vote, it prohibits discrimination against people’s rights to vote based in “race, color or previous condition of servitude.” However, in the South there was resistance from white supremacy and after the Civil War Reconstruction some states prevented the African Americans from voting using legal tools, such as Mississippi: requiring literacy tests, two previous years of annual poll tax’s payment or “grandfather clause”. So during the Reconstruction the African American lost the right to vote till the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 :

"No voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure shall be imposed or applied by any State or political subdivision to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color."

The answer is B.  African Americans lost the voting rights they had in Reconstruction but regained them from the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
