In 1898, Louisiana adopted a new constitution, which incorporated a "grandfather clause" into voting requirements. It stated that a person may only vote if their father or grandfather was eligible to vote on or before January 1, 1867, thereby disqualifying almost all black voters.

By 1910, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama and Oklahoma had adopted similar "grandfather clauses."

Five years later, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Oklahoma's grandfather clause violated the 15th Amendment. While other states had to get rid of their grandfather clauses, the ruling did little to aid the effort of Black Americans to gain voting rights in the south.

En el año 1898, Louisiana adoptó una nueva constitución, donde se incorporaron las “cláusulas de los abuelos” en los requisitos de votación. Declaraba que una persona solo podía votar si su padre o abuelo era elegible para votar el 1 de Enero de 1867 o antes, de esta manera descalificando a la mayoría de votantes negros.

Para 1910, Georgia, Carolina del Norte, Virginia, Alabama y Oklahoma habían adoptado "cláusulas de derechos adquiridos" similares.
