Pembantaian Pemilu 1874: Perbedaan antara revisi

Pada tahun 1875, [[Mississippi]] Partai Demokrat juga menggunakan intimidasi yang meluas untuk mengontrol pemilihan lokal, yang kemudian dikenal sebagai [[Rencana Mississippi]]. Kekerasan serupa juga diadopsi oleh cabang-cabang di kota dan kabupaten lain. Partai Demokrat mendapatkan kembali kendali atas Alabama dan badan legislatif negara bagian lainnya. Rekonstruksi berakhir dengan penarikan pasukan federal sebagai bagian dari kompromi untuk memilih [[pemilihan presiden Amerika Serikat, 1876|Rutherford B Hayes]].

 

 

In 1901 the Democratic-dominated state legislature in Alabama, like other southern states, followed Mississippi's lead to end such election-related violence by passing a new constitution that effectively [[Disfranchisement after Reconstruction era|disenfranchised most black people]] by such measures as [[Poll tax (United States)|poll taxes]], [[literacy tests]], [[grandfather clauses]] and [[white primaries]]. Poll taxes and literacy tests also disfranchised tens of thousands of poor whites in Alabama. Although the Democratic legislature had promised whites would not be affected by the new measures, politicians wanted to preclude poor whites allying with black people in Populist-Republican coalitions.<ref name="Glenn Feldman 2004, pp. 135–1362">Glenn Feldman, ''The Disenfranchisement Myth: Poor Whites and Suffrage Restriction in Alabama'', Athens: University of Georgia Press, 2004, pp.&nbsp;135–136</ref> With disfranchisement achieved, the legislature passed laws imposing [[racial segregation]] and other elements of [[Jim Crow]], a system that lasted well into the 1960s. At that time, the gains of the [[Civil Rights Movement]] led to Congressional passage of legislation in the mid-1960s that prohibited segregation and began to enforce the constitutional rights for minorities to suffrage and equal protection under the law.
