question 10 of 10
the use of poll taxes affected which of the following groups?

a. southern landowners

b. only african americans

c. only people from ireland and germany

d. poor whites and african americans

Explanation:

Poll taxes were a fee required to vote, implemented to disenfranchise groups. Southern landowners (A) could afford them. "Only African Americans" (B) is wrong as poor whites also struggled. Irish/German immigrants (C) isn't the focus. Poor whites and African Americans (D) were both poor, so poll taxes affected them as they couldn't afford the fee, limiting their voting rights.

Answer:

D. Poor whites and African Americans
