Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Grandfather Clause was not used in Texas as a device to prevent many lower-income persons and blacks from voting after the Civil War. It was a provision used in some states that allowed potential white voters to circumvent literacy tests, poll taxes, and other tactics designed to disenfranchise African Americans. However, it was not specifically adopted in Texas, where other methods such as poll taxes, white primaries, and terrorist tactics by groups like the Ku Klux Klan were employed to suppress the African American vote.
