The correct answer is D.

In the Reconstruction Era, the 14th and 15th amendments to the US Constitution had been introduced in order to guarantee equal rights for all US citizens, preventing any form of discrimination in terms of race.

The states could not explicitly prevent any citizen from participating in the elections. Still, many Southern states, circumvented the newly established constitutional provisions by implementing new requirements such as literacy tests, payment of poll taxes, property restrictions, etc., that needed to be fulfilled in order to register to vote. These measures excluded mostly black citizens as many were poor and/or illiterate.

Moreover, the grandfather clauses were introduced. These were used so that those whose ancestors were able to vote before the Civil War, could continue doing it wihtout the need of proving that they met the extra requirements: the tests, the poll taxes, etc. These provisions enahnced even more the discrimination against black US citizens.

Answer:

D) only people whose grandfathers could vote before the Civil War would be allowed to register to vote.

Explanation:

Grandfather clauses, allowed a man to vote if his grandfather or father had voted before January 1, 1867, this exemption clause effectively denied all freedmen the ability to vote. Free-colored men before 1831 could vote in North Carolina if they met the property requirements, however they were excluded there and elsewhere after the slave rebellion of 1831.

The argument over _______ divided the christian church.
LenKa [72]
The problem with Christianity isn't the religion itself, but the fact that its members are all human.
Originally, there was one Church, what we now know as the Catholic Church. However, during the 1500s, the priests of the time were corrupt (as mankind tends to be) and were charging people money in order to forgive them of their sins (as it was, nobody needed a priest to forgive them, but the people didn't know because they didn't have bibles).

And so, in 1517, Martin Luther published Ninety-Five Thesis, critiquing the Church, and soon the Church was divided between Protestant and Catholics. All the other denominations you see out there come from Protestantism.

None is better than the other. While I feel that the Protestant reformation was necessary, that does not mean that modern Catholics are necessarily bad. There are corrupt people in all churches. Meanwhile, the Christian community is supposed to be acting as one body, so any hostility you see between denominations is, by Christian standards, wrong.

daser333 [38]
November 9, 1989 marks the fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany but it was not until October 3, 1990, when East and West Berlin were united after 45 years of division.

It all started in 1945 after the Nazi surrendered to the Allied Four. Through the Potsdam agreement Germany was split into four zones which, at first would be governed by the USA, Great Britain, France and USSR. Their purpose was to run it as a single country, but due to ideological differences, the country was split into West Germany and East Germany. East Germany, being controlled by the Soviets and West Berlin or the free market west. East Germany closed its ties with the West in 1952 and in 1961 built the Wall in the city, preventing East Germans from escaping to West Germany.
