Recap!

The video is about the right to vote of Black people after the Civil War in the South.

In the South, White Southerners enacted Jim Crow Laws because they feared Black people would vote and integrate society.

So, White people passed laws to disenfranchise Blacks.

For example, Blacks had to pay a tax to vote. Black people had to take a literacy test.

But uneducated and poor Whites couldn’t vote, so Southern Whites created the Grandfather Clause: if your grandfather had voted you could vote.

 

Vocabulary:

Be about : parler de

Disenfranchise: priver du droit de vote

To + verbe pas conjugué : afin de

Integrate society : s’intégrer à la société
