Who could vote after the fifteenth amendmant was passed?
Even though the 15th Amendment (ratified in 1870) dictated that the right to vote will not be denied on the basis of race, many African Americans still weren't able to vote for decades afterwards. Two practices commonly used to deny African Americans the right to vote were: the white primary, and the poll tax. Political parties in the south would often deny African Americans the right to participate in primary elections, thus African Americans were essentially denied a voice in the subsequent general election. Also, an African American that desired to vote would often be forced to pay a poll tax before they were able to cast a ballot. Congress outlawed poll taxes in the 24th Amendment, and in 1965 passed the Voting Rights Act. The Voting Rights Act was well executed and enforced and was able to register many African Americans for voting.
