In order to prevent African Americans from exercising their right to vote.

Poll taxes means you have to pay a tax before allowed to vote. That's a way of preventing poor persons (like blacks in the South) from voting.

In addition to poll taxes, other measures were also used to block blacks from participating in the voting process, such as literacy tests. Literacy tests would require persons to pass certain standards of reading and writing in order to qualify for voting. These tests were aimed at blacks, who had not had access to the same education as whites.

What helped create a new American identity during the period of the American Revolution?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Although the women and slaves helped during the time of war, they were still neglected rights. After the war women went back to being treated the same way. They lacked voting rights, real jobs, they were unable to own land, and still could not divorce. Even though the Northwest Ordinance was established, it did not completely protect slaves in the Northwest. Africans in the North were still sold to slavery in the south, if a slave was caught running away they were sent back to their owner. Some Africans were sold to more labor.
