Which of the following was used to prevent African American men from voting in the late 1800s?

Grandfather clauses were used in some states to keep African American men from voting. They exempted men from voting requirements such as literacy tests only if their ancestors had been eligible to vote before the Civil War—a condition most Black men could not meet. Tenant contracts, labor contracts, and minstrel shows were not voting restrictions.
