Poll Taxes

Begun in the 1890s as a legal way to keep African Americans from voting in southern states, poll taxes were essentially a voting fee. Eligible voters were required to pay their poll tax before they could cast a ballot.

A “grandfather clause” excused some poor whites from payment if they had an ancestor who voted before the Civil War, but there were no exemptions for African Americans.

In 1964 the Twenty-Fourth amendment prohibited the use of poll taxes for federal elections. Five states enforced payment of poll taxes for state elections until 1966, when the U.S. Supreme Court declared them unconstitutional.




2.) Voting Rights for African Americans

The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution (1868) granted African Americans the rights of citizenship. However, this did not always translate into the ability to vote.

Black voters were systematically turned away from state polling places. To combat this problem, Congress passed the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870.

It says:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Yet states still found ways to circumvent the Constitution and prevent blacks from voting.

Poll taxes, literacy tests, fraud and intimidation all turned African Americans away from the polls.

Until the Supreme Court struck it down in 1915, many states used the "grandfather clause " to keep descendents of slaves out of elections.

The clause said you could not vote unless your grandfather had voted -- an impossibility for most people whose ancestors were slaves.

This unfair treatment was debated on the street, in the Congress and in the press. A full fifty years after the Fifteenth Amendment passed, black Americans still found it difficult to vote, especially in the South."

What a Colored Man Should Do to Vote", lists many of the barriers African American voters faced.

The fight for African American suffrage raged on for decades. In the 1930s one Georgia man described the situation this way:

"Do you know I've never voted in my life, never been able to exercise my right as a citizen because of the poll tax? ... I can't pay a poll tax, can't have a voice in my own government."

I find it interesting how people argue over a birthright SGT James Murphy

Once again as I’ve posted numerous times in Rally Point when it comes to the discussion of the 2nd Amendment-Self-Defense :

I clearly state :

“The rules of the 2nd Amendment means nothing to myself because others used the pen and force, to brainwash people to lose/surrender their birthright to protect themselves. “

Those that made those rules to disarm did it for their safety and ability to abuse as a FACT.

So for myself regardless of ANY legislation currently in the works or in the future that strips away the right of self-protection/self-preservation never has nor will it EVER apply to myself.

I have FACTS of history to know better.

Also interesting those that love to defend the 2nd Amendment are silent when I post the FACTS of ( “African Americans/Black People/Colored/Negro/The African/The Blacks/The Coloreds/The “N-Word”/Mulatto) being ACTUAL victims of what they fear happing to themselves …. Silence.

You’d think that they would use it to strengthen their 2nd amendment arguments.


1.) The Secret History of the Second Amendment as an African-American Civil Right
AUGUST 30, 2021

Florida law in 1825 authorized white people to “enter into all Negro houses” and “lawfully seize and take away all such arms, weapons, and ammunition

In 1825, Florida’s “Act to Govern Patrols” provided that white citizens “shall enter into all negro houses and suspected places, and search for arms and other offensive or improper weapons, and may lawfully seize and take away all such arms, weapons, and ammunition.”

An Act concerning patrols, in Compilation of the Public Acts of the Legislative Council of the Territory of Florida, Passed Prior to 1840, at 65 (John P. Duval ed., 1839).

Subject(s):
* Race and Slavery Based
Jurisdiction(s):
* Florida
Year(s):
1833

Sec. 15. Be it further enacted, That it shall be lawful for any patrol of this Territory, to take from any slave or slaves any fire-arms, or other dangerous weapons, to be delivered by said patrol to the justice of the peace of said district . . . .

Sec. 17. Be it further enacted, That it shall not be lawful for any slave, free negro, or mulatto, to keep or retain in his or their house or houses, any fire-arms whatsoever, and it is hereby made the duty of the patrol to search negro houses or other suspected places for fire-arms, and if any they find, contrary to the true intent and meaning of this act, may take the same to the nearest justice of the peace, who may proceed therewith as directed in a preceding section of this act; and the negro or negroes, in whose possession the same may be found, on failing to give a plain and satisfactory account of the manner he or they came possessed of the same, may be severally punished by moderate whipping on the bare back, not exceeding thirty-nine lashes.

The above FACTS is what legislation what actual “Gun Control” & “Stripping Away the 2nd Amendment” looks like.

It was done around the United States of America and not just a few isolated places.

“The rules of the 2nd Amendment means nothing to myself because others used the pen and force, to brainwash people to lose/surrender their birthright to protect themselves. “

Those that made those rules to disarm did it for their safety and ability to abuse as a FACT.
