I think this question is related to the movie "Selma:The Bridge to the Ballot".

People in power use laws, custom and procedures to maintain a status quo that favored them. They believe that everyone has a price. They are willing to bribe anyone to either bend some rules, or hasten procedures to get their desired results.

If someone can't be bribed, the family and job opportunities of said individual will be threatened forcing said individual to conform to what the person in power wants to happen.

Write a newspaper article about how voting restrictions impacted African Americans during this era.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

How voting restrictions impacted African Americans during this era.

African Americans were slaves who were brought to America through large vessels from Africa to work on plantations and homes. They were mostly maltreated and killed on very flimsy excuses and whenever it suited their masters.

The slaves eventually began to rebel and it was a hard struggle before they gained their freedom and the government recognized them as citizens.

However, even though they were recognized as citizens, they were denied access to voting which was their right by means such as paying huge amounts of money for poll taxes, disqualifying the black voters on the grounds of illiteracy and outright intimidation and thus tactic was largely successful. A grandfather clause was also set up which stated that unless your grandfather had previously voted, you couldn't vote, and this was impossible for the African Americans because their grandparents were slaves.

However, in the 1930s,a law was eventually passed that granted the African Americans the right to vote without paying poll taxes or taking literary tests
