What were tactics to oppress blacks in the south?

In the South, tactics to oppress Black individuals included the implementation of Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation in public spaces and institutions. Voter suppression techniques, such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and intimidation, were widely used to disenfranchise Black citizens. Additionally, violent groups like the Ku Klux Klan employed terror tactics, including lynching and intimidation, to instill fear and maintain white supremacy. These systemic measures aimed to reinforce social, economic, and political inequalities.
