Grandfather clauses
Even after the 15th Amendment white southerners mostly kept blacks away from the polls by intimidation. Also many clauses were added to keep blacks from voting such as the one that required them to be literate (the ability to read and write) to cast their ballot. There was also something a Poll Tax (a tax which was imposed on someone when they went to vote) which was only imposed upon the Africa Americans.
ok so, it is used to deny voting rights to african amereicans.
There were no such laws. Blacks were still slaves in 1800. We were not recognized as people under the Constitution and citizenship/voting rights are reserved to people. Since we had no rights, there was no need for laws forbidding us the right to vote. It was understood that we had no legal rights.
