What were two main laws to keep African Americans from voting?
They added requirements such as owning property and passing literacy tests. Former slaves owned no property and it was illegal to teach them how to read or write. Even if former slaves could read, the tests given to them would likely be rigged somehow, such as being given in the wrong language. The Grandfather clause was another, saying you could not vote unless your grandfather could. It was tied to the above two requirements. Since their grandfathers likely didn't own property nor were able to read, then they didn't qualify to vote either.
