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.

Why were civil rights supporters disappointed with the supreme courts 1896 decision in plessy v. Ferguson?
liq [111]

The correct answer is: "It accepted the constitutionality of the 'separate but equal' and allowed the proliferation of segregated public facilities".

The Plessy v. Ferguson case led to the enactment of a landmark Supreme Court decision in 1896.

Such decision allowed the proliferation of segregated schools and the constutionality of the "separate but equal" principle under the belief that, if facilities were equal in quality, such education system was not violating the equality of rights provision that had been guaranteed for all US citizens by the Reconstruction Amendments to the US Constitution.

Famous Books and Authors: What was the importance of the book or author? -Beowolf: -Geoffrey Chaucer: - Dante Aligheri: -Boccacc
Aleks [24]

<em>Beowulf </em>is a heroic poem - it tells the deeds of a hero - written in Old English that could date from the 8th century. Originally it did not have a title, but later on it was named after Beowulf, a Scandinavian legendary hero. It is considered the oldest European vernacular epic (vernacular means colloquial and epic is poetry that is about heroes) and one of the most important works in Old English literature.

Geoffrey Chaucer (1340/44-1400) is known as the Father of English Literature. He wrote in the English vernacular (colloquial), even though his contemporaries were still writing in Latin, and is one of the most important English poets from the Middle Ages. One of his most well-known works is <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>.

Dante Alighieri (circa 1265-1321) is the author of a true masterwork of the literature of all times: the epic poem <em>The Divine Comedy</em>, an autobiographical work, to a certain extent, written in the vernacular Italian, instead of in Latin or Greek, which were more common at that time. By choosing the vernacular Italian, he was able to share his work with a wider audience.

Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) is, together with Dante and Petrarch, one of the fathers of Italian literature. One of his most famous famous works is the <em>Decameron</em>, a book that includes short stories and novels, with actions that took place in the course of ten days - Decameron means "ten days" in Greek. The book was very influential (it influenced <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>, for instance).

Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374) was Boccaccio's fellow poet and humanist. He was a priest, but after seeing a woman seemingly named Laura for the first time he abandoned that vocation and devoted most of his career to write poems for her. Petrarch coined the famous (although not true) term or expression "Dark Ages" in reference to the period that preceded the Renaissance (that is, the Middle Ages).
