Answer: In 1965, in the seven states of the old confederacy covered by the voting rights act (vra), approximately 29.3 percent of the eligible black residents were registered to vote, compared with approximately 73.4 percent of the white residents.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a piece of legislation signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson that prohibits racial discrimination in voting. It was passed at the height of the Civil Rights Movement. The act was designed to enforce the voting rights guaranteed by the 14th and 15th Amendments to the United States Constitution, and it was particularly important in the South.

Who were the citizens loyal to in Greece?
Nezavi [6.7K]
Although the male citizen, with his full legal status, right to vote, hold public office, and own property, may well have dominated Greek Society, the social groups which made up the population of a typical Greek city-state or polis were remarkably diverse. Women, children, immigrants (both Greek and foreign), labourers, and slaves all had defined roles, but there was interaction (often illicit) between the classes and there was also some movement between social groups, particularly for second generation offspring and during times of stress such as wars.
