History

Answer:

Beginning in the 1800s, women organized, petitioned, and picketed to win the right to vote, but it took them decades to accomplish their purpose. Between 1878, when the amendment was first introduced in Congress, and August 18, 1920, when it was ratified, champions of voting rights for women worked tirelessly, but strategies for achieving their goal varied. Some pursued a strategy of passing suffrage acts in each state—nine western states adopted woman suffrage legislation by 1912. Others challenged male-only voting laws in the courts. Some suffragists used more confrontational tactics such as picketing, silent vigils, and hunger strikes. Often supporters met fierce resistance. Opponents heckled, jailed, and sometimes physically abused them.

By 1916, almost all of the major suffrage organizations were united behind the goal of a constitutional amendment. When New York adopted woman suffrage in 1917 and President Wilson changed his position to support an amendment in 1918, the political balance began to shift.

On May 21, 1919, the House of Representatives passed the amendment, and 2 weeks later, the Senate followed. When Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment on August 18, 1920, the amendment passed its final hurdle of obtaining the agreement of three-fourths of the states. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby certified the ratification on August 26, 1920, changing the face of the American electorate forever.

The answer is c, loss of lands, loss of trade, and degradation of culture because when the European settlers came to Africa, they tricked the Africans into giving up their and set up colonies form the land they stole, for example, boers ( Dutch soldiers) tricked the Africans in South Africa to giving up the land and then the boers and Africans went to war and the colony of South Africa was made. Europeans took away their trading by making them jobs such as house cleaning and working at the plantations and stuff. Their cultures degraded by the Europeans teaching them Christianity, which they followed and they soom forgot about their original cultures.
