How Did The Grandfather Clause Limit Black Voting? Have you ever wondered how voting rights have been shaped and challenged throughout U.S. history? In this video, we’ll explain the origins and impact of the grandfather clause, a legal tactic used in the aftermath of the Civil War to restrict Black Americans from voting. We’ll start by discussing the historical context of voting laws during the Reconstruction era and how the grandfather clause was designed to give white voters an advantage. We’ll examine how this clause worked as a loophole, allowing many poor white voters to bypass literacy tests and poll taxes, while Black voters were effectively barred from participating. We’ll also cover the legal battles that led to the Supreme Court declaring the grandfather clause unconstitutional in 1915, and how discriminatory practices persisted until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This law made it illegal to use tactics like literacy tests and poll taxes, and introduced federal oversight to protect voting rights. Understanding this history is crucial to recognizing the ongoing fight for equal voting rights in America.
