Vote cannot be denied because of race, explicitly –
so other discriminatory tactics used
15th Amendment passed. It states that the right to vote cannot be denied by the
federal or state governments based on race. However, soon after, some states begin to
enact measures such as voting taxes and literacy tests that restrict the actual ability of
African Americans to register to vote. Violence and other intimidation tactics are also
used.
