In the 19th century, before the civil war, they were not allowed to vote at all and had no suffrage rights. After the civil war, they got general suffrage according to the amendments made to the constitution. However, their suffrage was limited by local governments which introduced voting taxes without which you couldn't vote, or literacy tests which african-americans of the time could not pass. In the 20th century, african-american women got their voting rights when the 19th amendment was passed allowing women to vote. They got their full voting rights in the 20th century when things like limiting voting was banned.

No, that's not a trick question. All three are actually examples of economic transactions that include externalities.

When markets are functioning well, all the costs and benefits of a transaction for a good or service are absorbed by the buyer and seller. For example, when you buy a doughnut at the store, it's reasonable to assume all the costs and benefits of the transaction are contained between the seller and you, the buyer. However, sometimes, costs or benefits may spill over to a third party not directly involved in the transaction. These spillover costs and benefits are called externalities. A negative externality occurs when a cost spills over. A positive externality occurs when a benefit spills over. So, externalities occur when some of the costs or benefits of a transaction fall on someone other than the producer or the consumer.
