By 1908, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia had succeeded in depriving virtually all African Americans, and a large number of lower-class whites, of the voting rights they had possessed since Reconstruction-rights they would not regain for over half a century. Around 1900, the southern states embarked on a series of political campaigns aimed at disfranchising large numbers of voters.
