History
1 answer:
qwelly [4]1 year ago

During the bourbon era, the purpose of literacy tests was to limit the access of giving votes.

Option B is the correct answer.

<h3>Who were Bourbons?</h3>

Bourbons were the politicians of southern America that opposed the transformation initiated in the Reconstruction era and after the end of the Civil war.

The literacy tests were the medium used by the bourbons to analyze the ability of reading and writing of the voters. But in an actual sense, it was the barrier that had been used for discriminating the black people called African Americans and the poorer white people.

Therefore, the access to voting rights was restricted by initiating the literacy tests in the era of Bourbons.

Which American leader is matched with his appropriate contribution?
dolphi86 [110]

Yes, Yes, No, Yes, No. These are the answers and explanations.

>>Samuel Adams founded the Committees of Correspondence.

"Adams called for independence, and the Congress agreed to boycott British goods until the repeal of the Intolerable Acts... Adams returned to the Continental Congress, where he and cousin John continued to call for independence." (history.com) Sorry, the evidence is not good but I checked this answer and it was correct.

>>Thomas Paine did write the pamphlet 'Common Sense'.

"Although many Americans who still had doubts about the war, a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine called 'Common Sense' increased support for independence...  His 'Common Sense' pamphlet argued logically and sensibly for American independence from Britain." (learning.k12.com)

>>Patrick Henry did not write the D.O.I . This answer is false.

"The delegates agreed to give a committee permission to draft a Declaration of Independence. On this committee were Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman. Jefferson was chosen as the person to actually draft, or write, the document." (learning.k12.com)

>>Benjamin Franklin did publish essays promoting American independence. Even though this answer is correct, I didn't see any evidence for it, so when I did the test, it was kind of like a guessing game >_<

>>Thomas Jefferson did not say "give me liberty or give me death", Patrick Henry did. This answer is false.

"'Give me liberty, or give me death!' is a quotation attributed to Patrick Henry from a speech he made to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775, at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia." (wikipedia.org)

I checked these answers and they were correct. ^_^ Hope this helps!
