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.

The correct answer is the oral stage of psychosexual development. 

According to Freud's theory of psychosexual development, the oral stage of development is the first stage of psychosexual development which is seen in infants (0- 12 months of age approximately). During this stage of development, the focus is the mouth, and infants derive pleasure and satisfaction by putting things in their mouth. When Cali is scared, she derives comfort from sucking her thumb.
