History

The 24th Amendment prohibited poll taxes or other taxes as qualifications for voting.

Poll taxes had been a way states had discriminated against black voters, by using their lower income status and poll taxes as a way to prevent them from going to the polls.  During the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, this was challenged.  The 24th Amendment, ratified in 1964, said: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax," and added:  "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Which conclusion can be drawn about the second punic war from the information in the map
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The Second Punic War was fought between the Romans and the Carthaginians between 218 and 201 BC. The Romans then went on to a several-year war of wear and tear, gradually destroying or neutralizing the allies and main colonies of Carthage, and finally, under the leadership of Publius Cornelius Scipionus Africano, they won the Battle of Zama. This war definitely decided the struggle of both cities for dominance in the Mediterranean in favor of Rome.  

Due to the complete destruction of Carthage in the Third Punic War in 146 BC and the long-term hegemony of the Roman Empire in the Mediterranean, no historical sources have been preserved describing the course of the war and its background from a Carthaginian or truly neutral point of view. Historians can therefore rely only on the works of Greek and Roman ancient authors and must therefore interpret them very carefully.

What is the Ku Klux Klan?
Ugo [173]

Answer:  C. A racist terrorist group founded after the Civil War.

Details:

The Ku Klux Klan began in 1866 in Tennessee as an organization of Confederate veterans of the Civil War.  They derived the name "Ku Klux" from the Greek word κύκλος (<em>kuklos) ,</em> which means circle.  The group became a resistance movement against radical Reconstruction in the South, seeking to intimidate blacks and restore white supremacy.  The group carried out many acts of extreme violence, and acts in Congress and a decision by the Supreme Court <em>(United States v. Harris, </em>1882) went against the Klan.  By that time, though, the Klan had mostly stopped operating because it had pretty much achieved its goal:  white dominance in the South.

A revived version of the Klan appeared again beginning in 1915, expanding its target beyond blacks to Jews and others.  At its height in the 1920s, this revived version of the Ku Klux Klan had more than 4 million members.  Today it is a fringe group in the US, with only a few thousand members.
