<span>US gained territory in the Pacific Ocean.

The Spanish-American War is the beginning of the imperial era in US history gaining their first territories from the war.

The US gained Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from the Spanish-American War and soon after completed the annexation of Hawaii. With colonies in the Pacific and trade connections growing in Asia, the US needed a quick way to move resources and ships from the East coast to these new areas. The canal through Panama made the naval commute shorter and faster as well as safer.</span><span />

I need a paragraph, to write about the fifteenth amendment ! well explained please. Please help asap .
aev [14]
The 15th Amendment to the Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Although ratified on February 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th Amendment would not be fully realized for almost a century. Through the use of poll taxes, literacy tests and other means, Southern states were able to effectively disenfranchise African Americans. It would take the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 before the majority of African Americans in the South were registered to vote.

I hope this helps! Ask me if you need anything else! :))
