Final answer:
Grandfather clauses exempted individuals from certain voting requirements based on past voting history.
Explanation:
Grandfather clauses were not designed to keep African Americans from voting. They exempted individuals from taking literacy tests or paying poll taxes if they or their fathers or grandfathers had been permitted to vote prior to a certain point in time. While literacy tests, poll taxes, and voter registration were tactics aimed at disenfranchising Black voters, grandfather clauses provided exemptions based on past voting history.
