Jim Crow Voting Laws


Explore the PBS website: The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow and explore how African Americans were denied the right to vote during the Jim Crow era. By following the steps on the website, examine what African Americans had to do in order to vote. Then write a summary paragraph on the blog that explains what African Americans had to do in order to vote and why many did not vote. Then, predict what effect this had on the laws that governed southern states.
