After the Civil War, the three groups that were primarily allowed to vote in the South were African American males, white males who had not participated in the Confederacy, and, in some cases, poor white males who met certain property requirements. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 later aimed to eliminate discriminatory practices that had been instituted to suppress voting among African Americans and other marginalized groups. However, initially, many African Americans faced significant barriers despite being legally granted the right to vote.
