Question

question 4 of 10 the use of poll taxes affected which of the following groups? a. only people from ireland and germany b. only african americans c. poor whites and african americans d. southern landowners

Explanation:

Poll taxes were a mechanism used to disenfranchise voters, especially in the Southern US after the Civil War. They required payment to vote, which affected those with little money. Poor whites, who often lacked financial resources, and African Americans (who faced systemic economic disadvantages and voter suppression) were both impacted. Option A is incorrect as Irish and German immigrants weren't the target. Option B is wrong because poor whites were also affected. Option D is incorrect as Southern landowners were wealthy and supported such measures to maintain power, not affected by poll taxes.

Answer:

C. Poor whites and African Americans
