Grandfather clauses were designed to prevent poor and illiterate African Americans from voting.

This term was coined in the 19th century when new rules for literacy tests, poll taxes and requirements for voting were established.

Some white people who did not fulfill the requirements were still allowed to vote because their ancestors ( grandfathers ) had the right to vote. This was a way to make voting possible for white Americans, and to make voting almost impossible for black people.

Today, this term applies to a provision in which an old rule continues to apply to some existing situation while a new rule will apply to future cases.

On what did the grimke sisters base their argument for equal rights for women?
Marina86 [1]

The Grimke sisters Sara and Angelina were from born in the southern state of South Carolina in the United Sates in 1782 and 1805, respectively. In that time the Southern states of the United States had black people as slaves, and the sisters were not in favor of it. The two sisters were very religious and eventually became Quakers and started to speak up against slavery and to support the abolition movement that looked to free the slaves. This support of the abolition cause caused them to be disliked in their native state and even some problems with members of the Quaker community. The sisters supported by the American Anti Slavery society started to speak to other women in gatherings and giving conferences in favor of the slave cause, which were eventually attended by both men and women. This made The General Association of Congregational Ministers of Massachusetts angry and they sent out a pastoral notice strongly denouncing women preachers and reformers in 1837. For this reason the sisters felt the need to begin to fight for equal rights for women. The action against women and the intention to limit and restrict their rights by these religious leaders was on what the sisters based their argument for women's equal rights.The sisters continued to give lectures on women's rights and were very popular in the north of the country. One of the sister's, Angelina, married an abolitionist man and all of them eventually moved to Boston in the northern state of Massachusetts were they lived for the rest of their lives.
