The correct answer is C) It lowered the voting age.

The Twenty-Sixth Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. This was passed in 1971. One of the biggest factors behind this change was the Vietnam War. During the Vietnam War, thousands of young men between the age of 18-20 were drafted for military service in Vietnam. Many individuals this age felt it was unfair that the government was sending them to fight in a war that they had no chance to vote on. This resentment of the federal government and taking action without giving 18-20 year olds the right to vote was seen on the numerous college campuses around the country. This activism resulted in a change in American law.

Think about Coleman's character and what she was like. Why was she able to meet so many challenges?
Mkey [24]

She was able to face many challenges because she was a very resilient woman who had enough resources not to let herself down.

<h3>Why was Coleman efficient?</h3>
  • Bessie Coleman was a black woman from a very poor southern family.
  • She grew up with many difficulties, due to poverty and racism.
  • This made her learn to use the few resources she had to make her life the best it could be.

This made her a resilient woman, being able to use few resources to do great things, always focusing on the opportunities she was given, and ignoring the negativity around her.

user100 [1]

Answer:

The Texas Revolution began in October 1835 with the battle of Gonzales and ended on April 21, 1836, with the battle of San Jacinto, but earlier clashes between government forces and frontier colonists make it impossible to set dogmatic limits in terms of military battles, cultural misunderstandings, and political differences that were a part of the revolution.
