During the bourbon era, the purpose of literacy tests was to limit the access of giving votes.

Option B is the correct answer.

<h3>Who were Bourbons?</h3>

Bourbons were the politicians of southern America that opposed the transformation initiated in the Reconstruction era and after the end of the Civil war.

The literacy tests were the medium used by the bourbons to analyze the ability of reading and writing of the voters. But in an actual sense, it was the barrier that had been used for discriminating the black people called African Americans and the poorer white people.

Therefore, the access to voting rights was restricted by initiating the literacy tests in the era of Bourbons.
