There are several ways that Southern states undermined the rights of African-Americans. Here are just a couple:
1) Poll taxes- These taxes were forced onto Southern citizens in order to vote in elections. These negatively impacted African-Americans, especially after the Reconstruction period. This is because former slaves were still struggling to earn a fair wage for their work.
2) Literacy tests- These were written exams given to individuals before they voted. If they did not pass, they did not get to vote. This undermined the ability of African-Americans to vote, as many of them did not have formal schooling experience and could not read/write.
Andrew jackson describe the election of 1824 as a corrupt bargain because he thought south carolina voted for John Quincy adams in order to make it easier to Secede.
Back then, John Quincy simply doesn't have enough vote to be considered as the winning candidate, making the credibility of the election really questionable
hope this helps
