list four reasons why the poll tax ordinance of 1862 was introduced​

Sagot :

Answer:

1.  Misapplication of proceeds

2.  Embezzlement of tax proceeds

3.  Weak monitoring

4.  Poor patronage

Explanation:

The monies were intended to provide social amenities for the people of the Southern states, but a portion of them was diverted to pay wages for civil servants, which the people were outraged about. The embezzlement of some of the tax funds by the tax collectors was quickly revealed.

The colonialists finally repealed the Poll Tax Ordinance in 1861 as a result of all the complications involved with it.
