Southern states implemented literacy tests, which required voters, particularly African Americans, to read and interpret parts of the Constitution as a means to disenfranchise them. These tests were often administered subjectively, with white registrars having the discretion to pass or fail applicants based on arbitrary criteria. This practice was part of a broader system of Jim Crow laws aimed at maintaining racial segregation and suppressing black political participation after the Reconstruction era. Ultimately, such measures were deemed discriminatory and were outlawed by the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The poll tax was proof that tax payments were made. Poll taxes were required in many Southern states in order to vote.
Under Congressional Reconstruction, Southern states were required to draft new constitutions that guaranteed civil rights and suffrage for African American men. They had to ratify the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal protection under the law, and the 15th Amendment, which prohibited denying the right to vote based on race. Additionally, Southern states had to be governed by military oversight until they complied with these requirements and demonstrated a commitment to the Reconstruction policies.

Southern states implemented literacy tests as part of their voter registration processes, which required individuals to read and explain sections of the constitution. These tests were designed to disenfranchise Black voters and poor white voters, often being administered subjectively and discriminatorily. The practice was a key component of Jim Crow laws aimed at maintaining racial segregation and suppressing African American political power.
