One could make the argument for any one of the aforementioned events. However, I would have to argue that the Louisiana Purchase was the most significant for a few different reasons:

1) Jefferson used the concept of implied powers in order to buy this land from France. Nowhere in the US Constitution does it say that presidents can buy land from foreign countries. However, Jefferson argues that this power can be implied. Due to Jefferson's actions, several presidents after him will follow suit and buy territories from other countries.

2) It doubled the size of the United States.

3) It initiated the US's policy of Manifest Destiny. This concept that America should control all land from the Atlantic to Pacific Ocean was one that was introduced in the early 19th century. The first big land annexation of this time was the Louisiana territory (1803). After this purchase, the US would continue to grow in size thanks to buying land from other countries and war.

How did literacy test laws affect politics in the south after civil war ?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

I would say they allowed states to avoid enforcing the fifteenth amendment

Explanation:

The 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Although ratified on February 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th Amendment would not be fully realized for almost a century. Through the use of poll taxes, literacy tests and other means, Southern states were able to effectively disenfranchise African Americans. It would take the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 before the majority of African Americans in the South were registered to vote.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

d It stopped the German military advance to the East.

Explanation:

The Battle of Stalingrad was a major battle in World War II. It involves the German army and its allies against the Soviet Union Army.

It was fought in September 1942, at which the German army lost about a quarter of their total army in the battle. And still could not take over the territory.

This led to the German Army unable to contain the invasion of Soviet Union soldiers when they advanced to the German territory.

Hence, the Battle of Stalingrad was considered a turning point of World War II because "It stopped the German military advance to the East."
