Answer: to keep African Americans from voting.

The black community had less access to education than whites even after slavery was ended; thus their literacy rates were lower. They also experienced much poverty because of prejudice against them in the economic system of the country, so poll taxes could keep them from going to the polls to vote. The "grandfather clauses" were exemptions granted by some states to those whose forefathers ("grandfathers") had full voting rights prior to the Civil War, so if there were poor or illiterate whites, they could vote freely while blacks (whose ancestors had been slaves) were subjected to the laws restricting their voting ability.

These sorts of restrictions against black voters prompted much of the activism of the civil rights movement that began in the middle of the 20th century.

Hello there!

<span>When playing games of chance like slot machines or roulette, people often say that a particular outcome is "due," implying that one outcome is more likely because it hasn't happened in a while. this is a fallacy because in these examples the outcome of each trial is: Independent

Games or chance are random in nature. That is, the outcomes are influenced not by the previous outcome, but by probabilistic statistics. In slot machines or roulette, the outcome of each trial is Independent, meaning that it isn't influenced by any previous trial and that if an outcome doesn't happen in a while, it will not increase the chances that it will happen in the next trial.
