7 0

The fifteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution granted African American males the right to vote by stating that an American citizen's rights could not be infringed upon on the basis of a man's race or a colour.

However, it is important to consider the fact that, although this amendment was passed, it was not heavily enforced and many African American men were still denied the right to vote, especially in southern states.

Which statement correctly describes John Adams's presidency? A. He served two successful terms and was nominated for a third. B.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

A is wrong, as if you check, John Adams' presidency was from 1797 to 1801--only a single four year term.
B is true. Since George Washington made the Proclomation of Neutrality before him, John Adams ended up having to uphold it. There's a famous debacle called the XYZ Affair where US diplomats were stopped from talking to the French foreign minister by his agents unless they paid a hefty bribe. (whose names were replaced with X, Y, and Z when Adams released the documents so as to avoid involvement in French wars)
C is wrong. John Adams' wife, Abigail Adams, had been married to Adams for over thirty years before he took office.
D is wrong. The Louisiana Purchase was in 1803, during which the third president, Thomas Jefferson, was in office.
