African Americans were excluded from political participation. Why was this so damaging to African Americans? What were white voters trying to prevent?

Answer:

These restrictions and laws placed on African Americans, particularly during the Jim Crow era, did not allow representation from black communities in voting. Voter suppression of blacks caused populations to be unequally represented in the demographics of a town, county, state, or any other voting poll. White voters were trying to disallow for any representation the black communities may have, and as a direct result belittle them as people.
