Because it was done that way to spread fear and send a message.

John Stephens had his political life marked by encouraging blacks to engage in political activities. His posture and popularity among blacks was negatively seen by white democrats. He was therefore killed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1870 for being considered a state traitor, and his murder was a warning to other possible politicians who dared to fight in any way for the black cause.

WINSTONCH [101]
After Reconstruction, white Southerners took extreme measures to ensure that African-Americans did not gain political power. One of the reasons why is because they feared that African-Americans would elect individuals who would try to change the southern way of life. In order to stop this from happening, several actions were taken.

1) Voting obstacles- Even though the 15th amendment said the no one can be stopped from voting based on race, color, or past servitude, many southern states went around this by implementing literacy tests and poll taxes. These tests and taxes significantly affected the African-American community, as many of them did not have a formal education nor a large enough income to vote.

2) Development of Ku Klux Klan- This organization used violence, intimidation, and threats to ensure that African-Americans did not use the rights guaranteed to them in the constitution.

solong [7]
Had the Declaration of Independence never been drafted i believe that the United States of America would still be under Britains thumb. This being said one can assume that the tax policies would be severely different as they would change with each monarch, but yes taxation without representation and over taxation would still be a problem.


I hope that answered the question the specific 'Problems' weren't outlined so i i assumed you were referring to the problem of Taxation
