What was the purpose of the poll tax

History
1 answer:
vichka [17]3 years ago
3 0

To make it difficult for African Americans 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. For instance, 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.

Keith_Richards [23]

<u>They were legislators who would "sell" their votes on a bill for free steak dinners</u>, was the problem speaker Sam Rayburn identified with the ""steak men"" at the beginning of the twentieth century.

The conservative faction of the state Democratic party frequently clashed with Rayburn because he consistently supported the Democratic candidate for president throughout his career.

The 1950s saw the height of that controversy when Rayburn backed Adlai E. Stevenson for president despite the majority of state elected officials siding with Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Sam Rayburn's legislative career does show a pattern of general regularity, however it is difficult to categorize his career.
