Answer:

the poll tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poll tax was adopted in the southern legislature in the 1890s in response to the Populist Party's serious challenge to the Southern Democrats based on the support of votes of Blacks. A poll tax was the fee levied before casting votes and it was an important measure to limit the voting rights of the African Americans and poor Whites.
