The Fifteenth Amendment had practically no effect in southern states, which devised numerous ways such as poll taxes and grandfather clauses to keep blacks from voting. Over time, federal laws and Supreme Court judicial opinions eventually struck down voting restrictions for blacks. Eventually, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 which established a commission to investigate voting discrimination. And in 1965 the Voting Rights Act was passed to increase black voter registration by empowering the Justice Department to closely monitor voting qualifications. that is basicly what i know but i hope this does help =)

Gekata [30.6K]

The Missouri Compromise of 1820 established the latitude 36°30′ as the northern limit for slavery to be legal in the territories of the west.

Explanation:

The Missouri Compromise, as it was known, would remain in impact for just over 30 years till the Kansas-Nebraska act of 1854 revoked it.
In 1857, the Supreme Court in Dred Scott's case found the agreement unconstitutional, setting the stage for the nation's final journey through the Civil War.
In 1820, while growing sectional tensions over the slavery issue, the U.S. Congress passed a law welcoming Missouri to the Union as a captive state and free state.
