Answer:

In 1970 South Africa has more than 75% reserve of world gold under it soil but by 1985 it has depleted to 6%.

South Africa today has world largest reserve of platinum with over 78% in 2005.

In the same vein, South Africa has large deposit of Chromium.

The same mistake is being wittnessed in their Chromium reserve as China has bought over 50% of South Africa chrmlium deposite, thereby possing a great challange to the market South Africa used to dorminate.

Currently, South Africa  is world largest miner of platinum. If restrain and coution is not applied, it is likely to deplet like gold in no distant time.

Before the Fifteenth Amendment was passed, which states refused African-Americans the right to vote?
mr_godi [17]
#1) Before the Fifteenth Amendment was passed, which states refused African-Americans the right to vote? 
Answer: The answer is C:some northern and southern states. Once approved by the required two-thirds majorities in the House and Senate, the 15th Amendment had to be ratified by 28, or three-fourths, of the states. Due to the reconstruction laws, black male suffrage already existed in 11 Southern states. Since almost all of these states were controlled by Republican reconstruction governments, they could be counted on to ratify the 15th Amendment. Supporters of the 15th Amendment needed only 17 of the remaining 26 Northern and Western states in order to succeed. At this time, just nine of these states allowed the black man to vote. The struggle for and against ratification hung on what blacks and other political interests would do.
