Answer:

One method that was used was the poll tax. The poll tax required a person to pay a fee in order to vote. Since many African Americans were poor, they could not afford to pay the tax. As a result, they did not vote.

Another method that was used was the literacy test. The literacy test required a person to read and explain a part of the Constitution. Since many African Americans had limited education, many African Americans could not pass the test in order to vote. They used the KKK to terrorize blacks and passed black codes.

What factors combined to produce the race riots that rocked the country in the summer of 1919?

Crank

The main factors were different ethnicities with different needs competing for territory and work. In places like Illinois, there was a huge rise in African-American migration from the south who started fighting with local Irish people who believed that African-Americans were taking their jobs. The problems in the employment and the housing markets caused them to clash against each other.
