Answer:

The town of Picher, Oklahoma was evacuated because it was declared uninhabitable because this town used to service some mines which made the environment harmful to people.

Explanation:

There were some subsurface excavations in this town which had bad effects on some town's buildings and at the same time these excavations produced mine tailings which were toxic metals that contaminated the area.

The state took some measures to reduce the contamination but in 1996 a study showed that 34% of the children in this town were suffering from lead poisoning because of the problems in the environment. Lead poisoning  could produce neurological problems.

Finally, On September 1, 2009, the town of Picher did not belong to the state of Oklahoma anymore and all the operations in this town were suspended.

Which scenario might have taken place at a southern state polling center in the wake of the Fifteenth Amendment being ratified?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

poll workers having voters read aloud before voting to prove they could read

Explanation:

In the United States, the fifteenth amendment established the right of citizens of the US to vote regardless of race, color, or condition of servitude. It was ratified in 1870 after its passage by the Congress in 1869.

Hence, in the attempt of poll workers in the Southern states to continue segregation at the polling unit, the scenario that might have taken place at a southern state polling center in the wake of the Fifteenth Amendment being ratified is "poll workers having voters read aloud before voting to prove they could read."
