After Santa Anna's victory in San Antonio, at the Alamo, he felt overconfident and split his army into five columns after one of his generals, José Urrea, defeated a Texan army in Goliad. Near San Jacinto, Santa Anna ordered his reduced column to rest, and his biggest mistake was not to order patrols or sentries posted while the whole army was resting and Sam Houston was planning a surprise attack that his troops would execute with little difficulty as no alarm of attack was sounded and the whole Mexican army got completely caught by surprise.

As of the Constitutional Convention of Texas of 1836, whose delegates were elected in February 1, 1836, its sense of urgency was brought about by the approach of the Mexican Army led by Santa Anna which would arrive in Texas  a month later.

Name 4 ways Southern Whites prevented African Americans from voting?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

1) Violence: Blacks 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.

Whites used violence to intimidate blacks and prevent them from even thinking about voting. Still, some blacks passed the requirements to vote and took the risk. Some whites used violence to punish those “uppity” people and show other blacks what would happen to them if they voted.

2) Literacy tests: Today almost all adults can read.  One hundred years ago, however, many people – black and white – were illiterate.  Most illiterate people were not allowed to vote. A few were allowed if they could understand what was read to them.  White officials usually claimed that whites could understand what was read. They said blacks could not understand it, even when they clearly could.

3) Property tests: In the South one hundred years ago, many states allowed only property owners to vote.  Many blacks and whites had no property and could not vote.

4) Grandfather clause: People who could not read and owned no property were allowed to vote if their fathers or grandfathers had voted before 1867.  Of course, practically no blacks could vote before 1867, so the grandfather clause worked only for whites.

Explanation: From about 1900 to 1965, most African Americans were not allowed to vote in the South. This was especially true in the Deep South: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.

White people in power used many methods to keep African Americans from voting.  Some of these methods also prevented poor white people from voting.
