The best answer is D

Violence - Black who tried to vote were threatened , beaten and killed. Their families were also harmed. Sometimes, their homes were burned down. Often, they lost their jobs or were thrown off their farms.

Poll tax -  In southern states , many blacks could not vote because they could not afford the  poll tax which amounted to $ 25  to $50 in today's money.

Literacy tests - Many black and white people could not read or write. White officials usually claimed that whites  who were illiterate could understand what was being read to them  even though they couldn't read and so were still allowed to vote.

But when it came to illiterate blacks, the white officials claimed they could not  even understand what was read to them,  and on the basis of that, they were not allowed to vote.

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>QUESTION 8</u>

The movement did have an impact because there is no more segregation anymore. So now people of all colors can be in the same table and classroom together. But there is still room for improvement. There are still racist mean people out there. some people still dont have any respect for colored people.

QUESTION 9

The 1960's were a tumultuous time in United States history. The sixties saw the rise of the Civil Rights movement that sought for equality and social reform for Americans of African descent. Also taking place in the 1960's were the Vietnam war, riots, poverty, antiwar protests, the "generation gap" and political assassinations.

These events and issues can be paralleled with today's American society through the continuation of rioting and protests, the continuation of extreme poverty, a technology induced generation gap (between Generation X, Millenials, and Baby Boomers who had nowhere near as much access to technology and information), and the continuance of Women's, African Americans, Latinos/Latinas, & other peoples of color's struggle to achieve racial equality and justice in a society created for and by Caucasian men.

ss7ja [257]

The reason is quite simple, this allowed them to monopolize the production and trade of silk and its trade. Because they were able to monopolize its production they could charge whatever price they wanted since they had no competition that would offer lower prices. This made them a lot of money and as they started developing the Silk Road they not only traded silk but several other products and even slaves between Asia and Europe.
