I'm 90% sure that they protested to the taxes
In ideal conditions, the one person one vote idea would make an ideal way for democracy. Each person votes and the votes are treated equally and we get a good democratic process. However, gerrymandering influences this because you organize the districts in such a way that unwanted votes are outnumbered by wanted votes. For example, there is a huge African-American community that could affect the statewide electoral voting. Since racist people would like to disenfranchise the voters, they would draw the districts in such a way that the huge African-American community loses its power through being separated into various smaller groups where other votes outnumber them.
A response to our freedom!

African Americans had just risked their lives in the war and now demanded to not be treated like 2nd class citizens.
