The South enacted a literacy test. This test was required of all men who wanted to vote. Since African Americans were not educated, especially during slavery, they could not read or write and therefore could not vote. When African Americans were able to have a generation that could read and write, the South then placed a poll tax before voting. A poll tax was a fee charged to people who wanted to vote. Many minorities could not afford to pay this tax as well as poor white males.
