Southern governments implemented a series of devices that would stop African-American citizens from voting including:
1) Poll Taxes- This was a certain amount of money an individual had to pay in order to vote. Many African-Americans could not afford these taxes.
2) Grandfather Clauses- This was a law that essentially stated that you were only able to vote if your grandfather voted. When this was first implemented, many African-American citizens were slaves before or their family members were slaves.
3) Literacy tests- These near impossible tests were based on a person's ability to read and write. This was effective when first implemented because many African-Americans did not have formal schooling due to their status as slaves before the end of the Civil War.
The Three-Fifths Compromise was created to resolve the debate over the inclusion of the slaves in the measurement of a state's population for legislative and taxation purposes. The effect of the compromise enables the slave states to have an advantage over the representation in the House of Representatives. This advantage spilled to having a disproportionate influence on the presidency, the speakership of the House, and the Supreme Court in the period prior to the Civil War.
The correct answer: Southerners were able to maintain control of the presidency because of the number of electors from each state.
