Before the American Civil War, during slavery times, there was a series of anti-literacy laws that prohibited slaves from learning how to write or read. Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, North and South Carolina, and Virginia passed anti-literacy laws, some of them punished the person who attempted to teach slaves to read and write a fine of 100 pounds and 6 months in prison.

Because of that, once slavery was over and Reconstruction created the Freedmen Bureau, former slaves wanted to read and write and be a part of society.

What are some criticisms of the United Nations? Check all that apply.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

It can be corrupt

It is often ineffective

Explanation:

The biggest criticism towards the United Nations goes for:

- It can be corrupt; there's accusations towards the United Nations very often that it is corrupt, and that it serves mostly in the interest of the United States and the western world in general, and objectively speaking it does look that way more often than not.

- It is often ineffective; there's countless examples of the inefficiency of the United Nations, and lots of those kind of seem like the United Nations don't want to solve. Simple example is the name issue between the Republic of Macedonia and Greece. Even though in the law of the United Nations stands that every country has the right to choose its own name and no one can forbid it, and even though the Republic of Macedonia won in the International court over the issue, Greece is blocking its northern neighbor to get into the organizations like NATO and the EU because they are not allowing the term Macedonia to be included in the name of the country. The United Nations did literally nothing to force Greece to respect the law of the organization which they are obliged to do.
