it was to keep the black population down, because slavery and unequal rights were illegal, so the south made laws to prevent blacks from voting, without saying they couldn't vote ie: must be a landowner, (blacks were too poor to own land) must take a literacy test to vote, (they didn't go to school) must pay a poll tax, (they were broke, they couldn't pay)
