It was related to voting, it was to prevent African Americans from voting. Due to the lack of education offered to them it was unlikely they would be able to read to their standards, the taxes was the same problem they had to use most of their income to live and had hardly any to spare.

If i'm not mistaken, it was related to voting. I think you had to score so high on the literacy tests and do so much on the poll taxes to vote. I could be wrong.

How did William Penn come in possession of land in the New World?

ale4655 [162]

New religious sects were on the rise in Europe. In England, William Penn attended Oxford where he joined the Society of Friends (Quakers). These new sects were treated badly, and the Quakers received the worst treatment of all. They were thrown in prison for refusing to obey any law that disrupted their religion and they refused to pay to support the state religion. The only way to escape such treatment was to go to America. William Penn's father was an Admiral and King Charles II had owed him a sum of money. Admiral Penn was dead so William Penn asked King Charles II give him a tract of land in payment of the debt. King Charles II granted him much of present-day Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.
