5 0

The 24th amendment was important to the Civil Rights Movement as it ended mandatory poll taxes that prevented many African Americans. Poll taxes, combined with grandfather clauses and intimidation, effectively prevented African Americans from having any sort of political power, especially in the South. When the 24th amendment passed, five southern states, Virginia, Alabama, Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi still had poll taxes. Most Southern states, at one time or another had poll taxes and in severe cases, had cumulative poll taxes that required the voter to pay taxes not just from that year, but also previous years they had not voted.

Select all that apply historians must have certain qualities of character, such as impaitience accuracy honesty bias

AlladinOne [14]

Historians need to be as accurate and honest as possible in terms of telling the story of the past. 

Sifting through lots of information requires patience so I would not pick impatience.

While all humans have some bias, all the social sciences as sciences strive to minimize bias. So I could not choose bias as a character trait important for historians.
