D. To prevent formerly enslaved people from voting
During the Reconstruction era, state governments in the South established literacy tests and other discriminatory practices primarily to disenfranchise Black voters, particularly those who were formerly enslaved. These tests were often implemented in a way that targeted Black individuals and were used to suppress their political power and maintain white supremacy in the electoral process.
