The correct answer is C) the gains African Americans had won from the Fifteen Amendment.

During Reconstruction poll taxes and literacy test virtually wiped out. The reason behind this may be due to the gains African Americans had won from the Fifteen Amendment.

The Fifteen Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1870 granted black men the right to vote. But with the end of Reconstruction in the late 1870s, Southern states government nullified the 14th and the 15th Amendment, removing African Americans the right to vote, allowing segregation practices such as poll taxes and literacy test, intimidation, and aggressions.
