They attempted to overturn the 15th amendment is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The thirteen and fourteenth Amendments were passed in order to free the slaves after the civil war. Thirteenth amendment abolished the slavery and fourteenth amendment gave the slaves rights of US citizens. The fifteenth amendment was added later for protecting the rights of citizens irrespective of their caste. The southern states tried to found a way around the amendment and tried not to let the black people vote. e. g Many states started to charge a poll tax, while the whites were exempted form it the Blacks were not, whites were excluded with the grandfather clause.
