A) Native
B) Asian
C) African
D) Hispanic

Answer 1

The 15th Amendment prevented voter discrimination based on race, but African Americans faced literacy tests, poll taxes, and discriminatory laws as barriers to voting until the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the 15th Amendment stated that race could not keep men from voting, some states prevented African Americans from voting. Three barriers these states used were literacy tests, poll taxes, and discriminatory legislation.

Literacy tests and poll taxes were strategically designed to disenfranchise African American voters and were not prohibited until the voting rights movement of the 1960s, with the signing of the Voting Rights Act by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965.
