Answer 1

Answer:A literacy test measures a person's proficiency in reading and writing. Beginning in the 19th century, literacy tests were used in the voter registration process in southern states of the U.S. with the intent to disenfranchise black voters.

Literacy tests were primarily used in the American South after the Civil War and resulted in the poor and African Americans not being allowed to vote.
