Answer:

The correct response is Option A. The Fifteenth Amendment sought to guarantee that one could not be denied suffrage rights based on race.

Explanation:

The 15th Amendment grants African-American men the right to vote and it was adopted into the U.S. Constitution in 1870. However, in practice, this was a difficult amendment to enforce. Many states, especially in the South, continued with discriminatory practices that prevented blacks from voting, like instituting poll taxes and establishing literacy requirements. These practices were not effectively repealed and prevented until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This outlawed any legal barriers at the state and local levels if they denied African-Americans their right to vote in any way under the 15th Amendment. President Johnson was against the 14th and 15th Amendments and tried to veto them but Congress was able to pass the amendments regardless.

write a description of a long train trip in the 1800s that illustrates how the change to standard gauge track has improved trave

dmitriy555 [2]

<span>Prior to the standard gauge track, railroad travel was much more arduous and painstaking. There were originally several types of gauges used on a railway track. This caused long train trips to require multiple stops in order to change train cars. With the standard gauge track on trains in the 1800s, multiple changes were no longer necessary and so the trips were shorter.</span>
