Poll taxes, literacy tests, and the grandfather clause.
How did the poll tax grandfather clause and literacy test effect African Americans in the south?
The poll tax, grandfather clause, and literacy tests were discriminatory measures used in the South to disenfranchise African Americans after the Reconstruction era. The poll tax required individuals to pay a fee to vote, which many African Americans could not afford. The grandfather clause allowed those who had the right to vote before the Civil War to bypass these restrictions, effectively excluding African Americans. Literacy tests, often unfairly administered, further hindered their ability to register and participate in elections, reinforcing systemic racism and limiting their political power.
The grandfather clause allowed someone to vote if his or her grandfather was what?
Grandfather clauses, which were originally intended to prevent black people from voting, were named for provisions adopted by the constitutions of some states. Such amendments sought to interfere with an individual's right to vote by setting forth difficult requirements.For example, common requirements were ownership of a large amount of land or the ability to read and write portions of the state and federal constitutions. The name grandfather clause arose from the exceptions that were made for veterans of the Civil War. If the veterans were qualified to vote prior to 1866, their descendants were also qualified. Thus, in effect, if a person's grandfather could vote, he could vote without further restrictions.These statutes accomplished exactly what was intended, since nearly all slaves and their descendants were disqualified from voting because they could not satisfy the statutory requirements.
