All of these tactics were used to disenfranchise African American voters. The grandfather clause excluded those who could not prove their grandfathers had voted before 1867, which effectively excluded African Americans who were not able to trace their lineage prior to that date. The poll tax required citizens to pay a fee in order to vote, which disproportionately affected African Americans who were more likely to be impoverished. White primaries only allowed white voters to participate in primary elections, thus cutting off African Americans from the voting process.
