The 15th Amendment gave African American men the right to vote (women still could not vote yet). As a result, the South tried to prevent them from voting by creating the Grandfather Clause, part of a law they passed which created literacy tests and poll taxes as a requirement to vote. The majority of African Americans during this time were illiterate (could not read or write) so they were unable to vote.  Since African Americans were just freed from slavery, they were poor and barely had money, so they could not pay poll taxes.

I'm not so sure about this next part though so maybe you'll want to skip it and ask your teacher:

There was also a rule that said people whose Grandparents could not vote also could not vote. Since all African Americans' grandparents were slaves and could not vote, then none of them could vote.

4. Douglass was approximately eight years old when he went to live with the Auld
kogti [31]

Answer:

While a child on Colonel Lloyd’s plantation, Douglass wasn’t subjected to much hard labor, and only had to perform a few chores. He also managed to befriend the master’s young son, Daniel, whose affection for Douglass gave the slave some small benefits. However, Douglass still suffered greatly from hunger and cold. The slave children are fed cornmeal mush from a shared trough, and only the strongest manage to eat their fill; Douglass’s linen shirt does nothing to protect him from the cold. His saving grace is a small bag used for carrying cornmeal, which he steals from the mill. He sleeps on the floor with his head and upper body in the bag; the frost causes his exposed feet to develop large fissures.

Douglass’s friendship with the master’s son affirms that slaves and free whites can interact on an equal footing. That such interactions happen between children shows how slavery is not intrinsic, as white slave owners would suggest, but rather something learned and enforced by an unjust society. In addition, this glimpse of equality between children only exaggerates the outrageous inadequacy of the living conditions Douglass endures.

At age seven or eight, Douglass is sent away from the Lloyd plantation in order to live in Baltimore with Mr. Hugh Auld, the brother of Captain Thomas Auld. Douglass leaves joyfully, and eagerly cleans himself up in order to receive a pair of trousers. Douglass is immensely excited to see the big city, and for several reasons feels no sadness about leaving the plantation. He feels no attachment to the Great House Farm as a home, in the way that many children might feel towards their childhood homes. Moreover, Douglass is confident that everything he finds in Baltimore will be better than what he leaves behind at the Great House Farm; his cousin, Tom, has stoked his enthusiasm by telling him at length of the city’s majesty.

HELP!!! How did agricultural development influence the locations of emerging civilizations and the jobs of people who lived ther
FrozenT [24]
Agriculture was key to the development of modern "civilization" because by being able to grow food rather than getting it through trade or hunting, people were able to stay in one place instead of having to be where the food was. This also led to jobs because people became highly skilled in growing crops.
