History

The grandfather clauses were laws that allowed people to vote if their fathers and grandfathers had voted. They were made because the poll taxes and the literacy tests prevented some whites from voting, and by making the grandfather clauses, they were able to vote.

<em>I was looking for the answer but I couldn't find one that was very convincing, so I decided to add my own. Hope this helps some people in the same situation as me haha.  ;P</em>

btw: I did get this answer from the textbook<em> Discovering our past A History Of The United States</em> Mc Graw Hill Education or whatever.

Answer: This is why - Grandfather clauses were statutes that seven Southern states implemented in the 1890s and early 1900s to prevent African Americans from voting. The statutes allowed any person who had been granted the right to vote before 1867 to continue voting without needing to take literacy tests, own property, or pay poll taxes.

schepotkina [342]

Gasoline was rationed during World War II because there were massive shortages due to the war effort. The U.S. Office of Price Administration issued a nationwide rationing in 1942 to assist in the war effort that ended in 1945. What was in shortage was rubber, not gasoline, and the best way to lower the rubber usage was to limit the amount of gasoline people could purchase to use in their cars.
