(1 point)
• the implementation of poll taxes and literacy tests
• the passage of the Twenty-Sixth Amendment
• the requirement to own land to vote
• the lowering of the voting age

Answer 1

The correct answer is: **the implementation of poll taxes and literacy tests**.

After the Civil War and the expanding of suffrage to Black men, many Southern states instituted measures like poll taxes and literacy tests to disenfranchise Black voters and, in some cases, poor white voters as well.
