African Americans gained the right to vote through the Civil War Amendments, which are the thirteenth amendment that abolished slavery and the fourteenth amendment that granted full citizenship to African-Americans and the fifteenth amendment guaranteed the right to vote to men regardless of their race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Eighteen year olds were then allowed to vote in 1971 because the twenty-sixth amendment gave anyone 18 and older the right to vote. Native Americans were given the right to vote from the Indian Citizenship Act which gave Indians the right to vote in Federal Elections.

Why do you think slavery mainly existed in the Southern Colonies and not in the New England Colonies? Think about how geography

anastassius [24]

Slavery mainly existed in the Southern colonies but not in the New England colonies because the South relied on slave labor to tend to plantations, as this was their main source of income.

The South had a hotter climate, which was perfect for growing crops. This also meant the soil was better as well. The Northern colonies had colder weather and their soil was not very suitable for constant farming.

This meant that the South relied on agriculture for their income, they would grow and sell cash crops such as cotton and tobacco overseas. They had little industries and were mainly rural. The North had industries and that was their main source of income.
