The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed to abolish Jim Crow-era voting laws that enforced racial discrimination. It aimed to eliminate barriers to voting, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, primarily targeting states with histories of discriminatory practices. The Act also provided for federal oversight and monitoring of voter registration and elections in areas with significant racial discrimination. This landmark legislation significantly increased voter registration and participation among African Americans in the South.
