1. poll taxes- for them to vote they had to pay high taxes.(A lot of African Americans couldn't afford it)

2.Grandfather clause- exempted citizens with ancestors had voted before Jan. 1st 1867 to vote now.(No African Americans could vote at time period)

3Literacy test- Had to pass this test otherwise I can't vote.
