Tools to disfranchise African Americans.
If you are referring to the literacy test that the south gave to African American voters during the reconstruction period after the civil war, they were given a literacy test and, if they failed, they were denied their right to vote. Mind you, the tests were very, very difficult.
Cotton was the main cash crop of the South during the Reconstruction Era.
yes
The rebuilding of the South after the Civil War is called the Reconstruction. The Reconstruction lasted from 1865 to 1877. The purpose of the Reconstruction was to help the South become a part of the Union again.

What would it be like to live in the south as a freedman during Reconstruction?
it was because blacks weren't educated and remember the south didn't want to come back to the union because they were racists against blacks. the south wanted to find ways so that the blacks couldn't vote so they made up the literacy test which made the blacks had to take a test and had to pass to become citizens and have the right to vote. the south wanted to make things difficult for them and because the blacks weren't educated they couldn't read so that was the purpose i hoped it helped me and my class were actually working on reconstrction this week so i remembered most of what we had to study
During the Presidential Reconstruction, President Lincoln wanted to be kind to the South and help them rebuild as much as possible. The Congressional Reconstruction wanted the South to pay for their rebellions.
