First they created the Poll Tax: a tax that had to be paid before one could vote
It wasn't generally a high tax, but for poor sharecropping families it often proved too expensive
Bourbons also created Literacy Tests: A test to prove literacy and understanding of the state constitution
African Americans were discriminated against by being forced to take a much harder Literacy test than white voters
Finally, the Bourbons passed the "Grandfather Clause" which allowed southern whites to be exempt from the Poll tax or Literacy Test
It stated that if a person's father or grandfather had voted in the past, then that person could vote
This discriminated against African Americans because their fathers and grandfathers could not vote, but white voters had been voting in America for centuries
African Americans fought in the US Civil War, and they spoke out against slavery.
One of the hardships was the fact that African-Americans could not get good jobs. They were discriminated against and would not get services as easily as the other Americans.
African Americans faced widespread segregation and Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation in public facilities such as schools, transportation, and restaurants. They were subjected to separate and inferior facilities and services compared to white Americans. African Americans were also often denied their voting rights through measures such as poll taxes, literacy tests, and intimidation tactics. This disenfranchisement suppressed their political power and prevented them from participating fully in the democratic process. African Americans were subjected to widespread racial violence and lynching, particularly in the southern states. They were targeted for asserting their rights or challenging white supremacy, leading to a climate of fear and control that further marginalized and oppressed the African American community.
African Americans were used as slaves, discriminated against because white people didnt treat them as equal. Native Americans because they were forced to move west in "the trail of tears" because that one white president was greedy and discriminated against them
