Southern states used to charge a poll tax for people trying to vote to deter black voters. They were usually the poorest and couldn't afford the poll tax, therefore, they did not vote. The tax was usually compounded, meaning, the next time to vote would be added to the previous, meaning, someone who didn't pay the last election, now had to pay more. The poll tax was found to be unconstitutional, and poll taxes were prohibited for both state and federal elections.
