What year were literacy tests,poll taxes and the grandfather clause created to prevent blacks from voting?

Answer 1

Hi Sparkle,
What I found was:
Grandfather clauses, a peculiarly irksome impediment to achieving voting rights for African Americans, were enacted by seven Southern states between 1895 and 1910. These laws provided that those who had enjoyed the right to vote prior to 1866 or 1867 or their lineal descendants would be exempt from educational, property, or tax requirements for voting. Because former slaves had not been granted the right to vote until the Fifteenth Amendment was ratified in 1870, these clauses effectively excluded blacks from the vote. At the same time, grandfather clauses assured the right to vote to many impoverished, ignorant, and illiterate whites. In 1915, the U.S. Supreme Court finally declared the GRANDFATHER CLAUSE unconstitutional because it violated equal voting rights guaranteed by the Fifteenth Amendment.

I hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

These laws were developed at the local level probably from 1865 onward. I do not believe there was any national monolithic imposition of htese tactics. They especially took effect after Reconstruction of the South was ended
