The correct answer to this question would be Poll Taxes.

This measure begun in the 1890s as a way to keep African Americans from voting in southern states.

In simple words, people at the time were charged a fee to be able to vote. This measure made it harder for more vulnerable groups to vote, restricting the vote to the wealthier.
