History
2 answers:
Basile [38]3 years ago

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.

What best describes the history of Mormonism in the US?
kap26 [50]
         Mormonism is the predominant religious tradition of the Latter Day Saint Movement.  It was founded by Joseph Smith in Western new York in the 1820s. It distinguished itself from traditional Protestantism. A prophet leader Joseph Smith was killed in 1844. After that most Mormons followed Brigham Young on his westward journey to the Utah Territory. 
         Mormon fundamentalism maintained practices and doctrines such as poligamy ( plural marriage ), or the United Order, form of egalitarian communalism.  In the 1890 Manifesto the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints announced the official end of plural marriage. This was the reason why several groups of Mormons broke with this church forming several denominations of Mormon fundamentalism.
      Some sources have claimed that there are about 6.5 million Mormons in the United States today.
