Answer:

B. Southern legislatures enacted Jim Crow laws.

Explanation:

Despite their defeat in the Civil War and all the amendments mentioned above, there was not true political will in the South for implementing the reforms that could have given African Americans real legal equality. The southern legislatures created legal barriers such as poll taxes and literacy tests to impede black citizens from voting. Those were the so-called Jim Crow laws.
