In "Black Beauty" by Anna Sewell, Jerry, the cab driver, expresses a skeptical view of elections, believing they often lead to corruption and false promises. He reflects on the challenges faced by the working class and suggests that the political system doesn't genuinely represent their interests. Jerry’s perspective highlights the disillusionment of ordinary people with the electoral process, emphasizing a desire for genuine reform and better treatment rather than empty political rhetoric.
Black men began voting in elections in around 1870.
The white primary in southern states allowed only white voters to participate in primary elections, effectively disenfranchising Black citizens and other racial minorities. This practice was a key part of the Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation and oppression in the South. By restricting access to primary elections, which were often the most decisive in determining candidates for general elections, it ensured that white Democrats maintained political control and marginalized Black voices in the electoral process.
Dating to colonial times, a "poll tax" was charged to anyone voting in elections, ostensibly to defray the cost of running elections. In the South, the true reason was to keep poor or indigent residents (largely African-American) from voting. When poll taxes were declared unconstitutional in 1966, many black-majority jurisdictions elected their first black officials.
