Because black men are citizens of this nation too. They fought in the war during that time..so why shouldn't they have had the right to vote as well...?
Hope it helped... :)

Frederick Douglass was a former slave and social activist. He was also a writer and public speaker. Although he was involved in a variety of issues, he is mostly remembered for his efforts to achieve the abolition of slavery.

In his writings, Douglass discusses why he believes that black men should have the right to vote. He argues that black men have greatly contributed to the country. They work in the fields, they fight wars. However, even though they share the burdens of citizenship, they are often denied basic rights. Moreover, he argues that the independence movement began because Americans wanted the right to create their own laws. However, this right is exclusive of the white population.

What are some reasons why young people joined the red guards

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

According to a Red Guard leader, the movement's aims were as follows:

Chairman Mao has defined our future as an armed revolutionary youth organization...So if Chairman Mao is our Red-Commander-in-Chief and we are his Red Guards, who can stop us? First we will make China Maoist from inside out and then we will help the working people of other countries make the world red...And then the whole universe.[2]

Despite being met with resistance early on, the Red Guards received personal support from Mao, and the movement rapidly grew. Mao made use of the group as propaganda and to accomplish goals such as destroying symbols of China's pre-communist past, including ancient artifacts and gravesites of notable Chinese figures. However, the government was very permissive of the Red Guards, who were even allowed to inflict bodily harm on people viewed as dissidents. The movement quickly grew out of control, frequently coming into conflict with authority and threatening public security until the government made efforts to rein the youths in. The Red Guard groups also suffered from in-fighting as factions developed among them. By the end of 1968, the group as a formal movement had dissolved.

What did the law require colonists to do in the stamp act 1765?

siniylev [52]

The Stamp Act of 1765 required the colonists to place a stamp on all paper goods (legal documents, newspapers, playing cards, etc.). However, the catch to the stamp was that you had to buy it, which the profits went directly to the king of England. If you didn't pay for the stamp, then you were also taxed. It was a lose-lose situation for the colonists.
