1 gen 1855 anni - Conneticut introduced The Literacy Test
This was introduced while Slavery was still alive
and well. Slaves were not allowed to read or
write meaning many freed Blacks either did not
know how to read or write or were far behind
white citizens. On top of that the questions
were not simple questions that only depended
on your ability to read and write. They were incredibly
difficult questions about the US,
obscure laws, numbers, etc.
