What was the purpose of grandfather clauses?

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.

How did forming alliances increase the likelihood of war in europe?
erma4kov [3.2K]
During the first great war(WWI) countries had formed defensive alliances with one another. So if 5 countries were in an alliance together, and 1 country was offended by someone, instead of 2 countries going to war, all 5 countries plus who ever started the conflict would all go to war. In case of WWI, instead of 2 countries going to war after archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, countries from Europe and Asia went to war.
