Segregation and racism had a huge impact on African-Americans in the South during the late 1800s and early 1900’s. One example of this would be public schools. The Plessy vs Ferguson case established the idea that there can be separate facilities for blacks and whites as long as they are “equal.” Despite this law, schools for African-Americans often had lower quality buildings and textbooks.
Another example of how African- Americans were limited during this time was when voting. Southern states passed laws such as a poll tax or literacy tests to prevent African-Americans from voting. A poll tax was a sum of money required to vote. This greatly affected African- Americans especially during the 1800’s because many of them did not have a lot of paper money due to their previous status as slaves. The literacy tests were extremely difficult reading comprehension tests that African-Americans usually failed during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. This was due to the fact that schooling was limited for this group of people.
World War I was also known as The Great War, and The War to End All Wars. <span>It was the first time so many nations, and such a large percentage of the globe, was involved in a conflict. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.</span>
It is much like the VERSE and CHORUS in much popular song. The
first part – canto, and the second and the longer part – montuno are the two-part
structure of the Afro Cuban mambo. After an extended instrumental introduction,
the canto proper begins. When the canto ends decisively and the montuno begins with
a coro.
A. Signing the Payne-Aldrich tariff
Let's look at the available options and see what their effects were.
A.Signing the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
* The Payne-Aldrich tariff was a compromise bill that frustrated both proponents and opponents of reducing tariffs. After Taft signed the bill, the Republican Party split into Progressives and Old Guards. This split cost the Republican's the 1910 congressional election. This is the correct choice.
B.Busting 90 trusts in a four-year term.
* President Taft was even more aggressive than President Roosevelt was in anti-trust suits. So you could consider this a continuation of a policy previously established by the Republican party and this didn't anger the progressives in that party. So this is a wrong answer.
C.Dismissing James Sherman as his vice president.
* President Taft didn't dismiss Vice President Sherman. James Sherman died October 30, 1912. So this is also a wrong choice.
D.Appointing Gifford Pinchot as Secretary of Interior.
* Since Gifford Pinchot was never the Secretary of Interior (Richard A. Ballinger was secretary from 1909–1911 and Walter L. Fisher from 1912-1913), this can't be the reason. So this too is a bad choice.
