Devious and cunning methods were required to circumvent the explicit voting protections of the 14th and 15th Amendments, and southern Democrats implemented nearly a dozen separate devices to prevent blacks from voting, including:

•Poll taxes

•Literacy tests

•“Grandfather” clauses

•Suppressive election procedures

•Black codes and enforced segregation

•Bizarre gerrymandering

•White-only primaries

•Physical intimidation and violence

•Restrictive eligibility requirements

•Rewriting of State constitutions

Don't confuse them with the facts, let the ignorant be ignorant still.
