Answer:

D) To get around the Constitutional protections put in place by the Reconstruction amendments  

Explanation:

The Reconstruction Amendments (the 13th, 14th, and 15th) gave civil rights to African Americans for the first time in American history: They prohibited slavery, they gave them citizenship, guaranteed the due process of law and the equal protection of the laws, and they gave them the right to vote.

However, the Southern states, who refused to accept African Americans as equals, decided to get around those constitutional protections through the creation of the Jim Crow Laws, which were a series of restrictions on black civil rights and that legalized racial segregation, known as the Jim Crow Laws. These statutes prohibited African American to be and to use the same facilities that white people were and used, such as neighborhoods, restrooms, building entrances, elevators, universities, schools, cemeteries, amusement-park, cashier windows, hospitals, and jails. Black people had to use different facilities, which in theory had to be equal to white Americans, but they were rarely equal.
