So much of Reconstruction was erased after the 1870s, as southern states rushed to design new suppression tools. The Readmission Acts were “intentionally forgotten to history,” says a legal scholar.

A Voting Rights Promise, Betrayed for 156 Years - Bolts
After the Civil War, Congress readmitted Southern states on the condition they not expand felony disenfranchisement—but they quickly ignored the restriction. It has finally caught up with one state, with a federal court ruling against Virginia and reviving the Reconstruction-era promise.
