What was the purpose of poll taxes literacy tests and grandfather clause?
Poll taxes, literacy tests, and the grandfather clause were discriminatory practices used primarily in the Southern United States to disenfranchise African American voters and, in some cases, poor white voters. Poll taxes required payment to vote, while literacy tests assessed reading and comprehension skills, often with unfair and confusing questions. The grandfather clause allowed individuals to bypass these requirements if their ancestors had been eligible to vote before the Civil War, effectively exempting many white voters while still disenfranchising Black citizens. Together, these measures aimed to maintain white supremacy and control over the political system.
