The government of the late 19th century was very inactive in meeting the needs of citizens. There were a number of weak presidents and Congress was both disorderly as well as ineffective. Campaigns were filled with bribery, fraud and character assassination. Voter turnout was at an all time high and resulted in a number of very close elections and an equal balance of power. As a result, several popular movements of protest sprung up that impacted key elections. One group, the Populists, turned dissatisfaction with the government into an important third party.

When did poll taxes start?

Poll taxes originated in the late 19th century, primarily as a means to disenfranchise African American voters and poor white citizens in the United States. They were implemented after the Reconstruction era, with many Southern states adopting them around the 1890s. Poll taxes were used to restrict voting access until they were declared unconstitutional in federal elections by the 24th Amendment in 1964 and later ruled unconstitutional in all elections by the Supreme Court in 1966.

In the 18th century, voting requirements varied significantly by country and region, but generally, one had to be a male property owner or a member of a particular social class to be eligible to vote. Many places also imposed age restrictions, typically requiring voters to be at least 21 years old. Additionally, in some areas, religious qualifications or tax payments were necessary to participate in elections.
