What was the purpose of the poll tax?
A) to make it difficult for African Americans to vote
B) to make it difficult for poor white people to vote
C) to help pay candidates election costs
D) to make it difficult for all poor people to vote
A is probably the answer they're looking for, if it's in history, however, D is also an effect, so that would be correct too. The poll tax was yet another attempt at preventing minorities from voting.
