Answer 1

The legal provision that enabled illiterate white people to retain their voting rights in the South after the Civil War was the grandfather clause. This clause allowed individuals to bypass literacy tests and other voting requirements if their ancestors had been able to vote before the Civil War, thereby effectively disenfranchising Black voters while preserving the voting rights of many white voters.
