Jim Crow and Segregation:

​VOTING

​Obstacles to Voting: The Poll Tax

​Imagine that you are finally old enough to vote in your first election. But, do you have enough money to vote?

During the Jim Crow Era, citizens in Southern states had to pay a fee to vote in a national election. This fee was called a poll tax.

It took until January 23, 1964 to change it when the United States ratified the 24th Amendment to the Constitution.

​eleven states in the south required citizens to pay a poll tax before they could vote. because many african-americans were poor, they simply couldn't afford to pay this extra tax.

Multiple Choice

A tax that had to be paid before a person could vote

• Jim Crow tax

• Grandfather clause

• Literacy test

• Poll tax

Multiple Choice

1896 Supreme Court case where the court ruled that separate-but-equal was constitutional, making segregation legal

• Literacy test

• Plessy v. Ferguson

• Poll tax

• Dred Scott v. Sanford

​in some southern states, african americans had to pass a literacy test in order to be allowed to vote.

​The effect was that many Black people couldn't pass reading tests, which meant they weren't allowed to vote.

Because​ educating African-Americans had been illegal or discouraged in many places during the time slavery was illegal, even by 1900 it was estimated that 50% of Black men couldn't read.
