That literacy gap between North and South was much more dramatic at the beginning of that period than today (as seen in this map).  In some states more than just blacks more limited in voting, also the discrimination was toward the wrong kind of whites.  Thus differences in how tightly the vote was controlled contributed to a smaller turnout in VA than NC even after the former was surpassed by the latter in % black population.
