Bulloch County court house.
In courthouses throughout the state,county officials enforced laws aimed at keeping African Americans from voting
Literacy Test

Grandfather Clause
It was a provision allowing former confederate soldiers and their male descendants to vote without having to take a literacy test.
Poll Tax
Poll tax was the tax on the right to vote.At one time Georgians had to pay a yearly tax of $1 to vote.
