What was the result of removing poll taxes and literacy test?

1 answer:

4 0

Removing poll taxes and literacy tests helped to eliminate voting barriers for African-Americans. These were initially put in place after the passing of the Reconstruction amendments (13th, 14th, and 15th amendments). This was supposed to significantly reduce the amount of African-Americans who were eligible to vote.

This is due to the fact that many African-Americans after the Civil War era did not have the ability to read or write, as they were forced to work on plantations in the South. Along with this, poll taxes were also extremely limiting, as African-Americans were not able to earn wages as slaves.

Ultimately, the removing of these barriers leads to increased voter turnout for African-Americans.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The covenant between Abraham and God.

Explanation:

Muslims regard to Abraham as a prophet, as he created a covenant with God. In Qur'an 2:125 - 29, it is stated that <em>Ibrahim </em>(or Abraham) had a covenant with God, quote: "... And we charge Abraham... [saying], 'Purify My House for those... who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer]."

The Jews regard Abraham as their father, as they are all descendants of Abraham. in the Tanakh, אברהם אבינו , or "Our Father Abraham" is used in the Torah. In the Torah, Abraham is promised by God that הארץ המובטחת, (or promise land) he would receive the land from as far as his eye can see for his descendants.

Christianity views the events that occurred much similarly to the Jews (After all, there is little to no difference in beliefs of what has occurred in the Old Testament, rather the difference is within the interpretation. Also, the Jews primarily only believe in the Old Testament as אברהם אבינו, disregarding the New Testament that Christians use). Of course, there may be language difference used, as Jews primarily use Hebrew dialect, while early Christians used Latin and Greek in many of their original writings.

How did columbus's plan for reaching asia differ from da gama's?

Mademuasel [1]

The main difference between the plans of Columbus and da Gama mainly differ in the way they tried to reach the continent, while Columbus was going for a much riskier option and wanted to reach Asian through unexplored ocean by going in a westward direction, da Gama was going for a safer option by traveling near the continental mainlands and was going south to go around Africa and than eastward towards the already known direction for Asia. This lead to different results, Columbus unintentionally managed to discover a whole new world for the Europeans, while da Gama managed to open up a route towards Asia that was clear of any charges or passing through the waters of some empire.
