1870 was the year that blacks were allowed to vote under the 15th amendment. Some no doubt voted in local elections years before this. However even in the 1960s alot of black people were still denied the vote since they had to pass a literacy test. thanks to the Civil Rights Campaign the voting rights act of 1965 was past and this ended the literacy tests. ensured federal agents could monitor registration and step in if it was felt there was discrimination. It was thought that if less than 50 per cent of all its voting citizens were registered then racial discrimination could be presumed
