Answer:

Was an eligible voter,is the right answer.

The Grandfather clause was extensively used in the South and allowed a person to vote if their grandfather was an eligible voter.

There were several strategies that the South used to try to block African Americans from voting such as:

  • Poll taxes
  • Literacy tests
  • Grandfather clause

The grandfather clause was such that only people who had grandfathers who could vote would be able to vote. African Americans couldn't qualify because they only recently received the right to vote so their grandparents could not have been eligible.

In conclusion, the grandfather clause meant that someone's grandfather had to be an eligible voter for them to be able to vote.
