Answer:

it was to register voters across the South in order for African Americans to gain political power.

Step-by-step explanation:

but Many African Americans who attempted to vote were also threatened physically or feared losing their jobs because by voting they had fears of whether or not people would judge them or look at them differently and they could possibly lose their jobs plus they were colored people so it was also difficult as well.

Hope this helps you!
