2. Literacy tests,
3. Grandfather clauses,
4. Suppressive election procedures,
5. Black codes (Jim Crow Laws)
6. Gerrymandering,
7. Whites only primaries,
8. Physical violence and intimidation,
9. Revisions of state constitutions, and

Only 19 of 82 northern Democrats voted to end slavery, and not one Democrat voted for the 14th or 15th amendments.
