What was the impact of literacy tests and poll taxes in Georgia? A) They kept blacks and poor whites from voting. B) They started a migration of black to urban areas. C) They caused black and poor whites to work together. D) They made elections in the south fairer for everyone.
Georgia created a cumulative poll tax requirement in 1877: men of any race 21 to 60 years of age had to pay a sum of money for every year from the time they had turned 21, or from the time that the law took effect. The poll tax requirements applied to whites as well as blacks, and also adversely affected poor citizens. The laws that allowed the poll tax did not specify a certain group of people. This meant that white women could also be discriminated against when they went to vote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poll_tax_(United_States)
