Poll taxes, literacy tests, and grandfather clauses were used in the South after 1890 to keep african americans from voting.
As many African Americans were poor or illiterate (being foreign slaves), they usually failed tests. The Poll tax was first instituted to keep slaves from voting, but with the poorest of the poor whites complaining, they soon changed it to the literacy test, so that they can keep slaves from using their new found right of voting.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can comment on the following.
The fossil discovered in the 1950s that reinforced the hypothesis that Africa was the birthplace of humanity was the "Australopithecus Africanus."
At the end of the 1940s, beginning of the 1950s, renowned archeologists John T Robinson and Robert Broom excavated the Sterkfontein Caves in South Africa and discovered a 2.3 million-year-old fossil they called "Mrs. Ples," or the Australopithecus Africanus.
Anthropologists consider that South Africa is the cradle of humanity. They think that the first hominids appeared there and they spread to other regions of the earth. The oldest one of the hominids was the Australopithecus and it is considered to have appeared on earth approximately five million years ago. The latest form of hominids, the H*mo Sapiens -you and I- appeared approximately 200,000 years ago.
The Compromise of 1850 set up an untenable status quo between the northern and southern regions of the United States in terms of slavery policy. The U.S. Congress intended to achieve a sustainable solution for the conflict over slavery policy. However, the Compromise of 1850 merely delayed the inevitable schism between rivalling regions of the nation.
Organized and championed by Henry Clay, the Compromise of 1850 was a series of laws and policy enactments that formed a comprehensive new national policy toward issues of slavery and westward expansion. At the core of this debate was the question of whether or not frontier territories should join the Union as new slave states. Southern states preferred an expansion of slavery into new territories, whereas northern states argued in favor of abolishing slavery in any new states. The Compromise of 1850 determined that new states would be slave-free, and the slave trade was also abolished in Washington, D.C.
In exchange for these concessions, southern states received an amendment to the Fugitive Slave Act, which forced northern states to take more aggressive measures to return escaped slaves into the southern states from which they departed. This was wildly unpopular in the North, and many northerners refused to abide by these policies, assisting escaped slaves through the Underground Railroad to Canada. As a result, tensions continued to escalate after the Compromise of 1850 failed to settle the slavery matter, and the Civil War became increasingly inevitable in the following decade.
