Southern governments implemented a series of devices that would stop African-American citizens from voting including:

1) Poll Taxes- This was a certain amount of money an individual had to pay in order to vote. Many African-Americans could not afford these taxes.

2) Grandfather Clauses- This was a law that essentially stated that you were only able to vote if your grandfather voted. When this was first implemented, many African-American citizens were slaves before or their family members were slaves.

3) Literacy tests- These near impossible tests were based on a person's ability to read and write. This was effective when first implemented because many African-Americans did not have formal schooling due to their status as slaves before the end of the Civil War.

Answer:

I would say the undeclared Anglo-Spanish war of (1585–1604). The Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC) , and The fall of Constantinople (1453) are the most significant and here's why :

Explanation:

In the Anglo-Spanish war , if the English lost, the Spanish would have likely landed an invasion force and succeeded in overthrowing Elizabeth I, thus obliterating the Anglican church. Rather than becoming the most formidable sea power in Europe and, thus, being able to project that sea power, England would have become a Spanish vassal, making it much easier for Spain to “rub out” Protestantism in the rest of Europe. Furthermore, the notion of “Great Britain” would be strangled in its bassinet.

In the Battle of Thermopylae had not the Spartans, Thespians, and Thebans held the pass and allowed the other Greek forces the ability to muster a defense against the invading Persians it is entirely likely that Alexander the Great would never have had Aristotle as his tutor, and never have spread Hellenization to the known world resulting in the rise of classical culture and the offshoots it created.

In the Fall of Constantinople ; essentially this battle played a huge role in the formation of the modern world. as places like the Americas would never be discovered and the world maybe would be a different place, if the battle of Constantinople didn't happen.

The answer is:

It will call on Americans to act instead of acting for them.

It will challenge Americans instead of protecting them.

The new deal is a set of government programs that is aimed to provided government funded help to address the great depression. But the unemployment still remain high years after the new deal and it increase united states debt, so it has to be ended.

The new frontier program was proposed to fund projects for space exploration. Kennedy believe that this is different from the new deal since it actually challenge American to learn and contribute rather than waiting around for government help
