Answer:Mississippi,

A poll tax, in simplest terms, is a tax that a person must pay in order to vote. In American history, however, poll taxes have a much deeper meaning. Poll taxes were used after the Civil War to prevent African-Americans from voting. The idea of the poll tax was that a money requirement (amongst other things like a literacy test) could provide enough of a barrier to prevent African-Americans from accessing their right to vote.

Have a good day!!! :)
