I understood the Sullivan Act to really be for the purpose of disarming blacks so that they couldn’t fight back against Tammany Hall and the rest of the crooked democrat machine in New York.

The large migrations of blacks, from both the southern US and the Caribbean, did not take place until after passage of the Sullivan Act. It was aimed at new immigrants, such as Italians, Irish, Southern and Eastern Europeans, Russian and Polish Jews, and so forth.
