True or false poll taxes were outlawed with the voting rights act of 1965

History
1 answer:
Helga [31]3 years ago
5 0
Poll taxes and Literacy laws were two of the primary ways that some states kept minorities from voting. Poll taxes were set to a point that would not be difficult for White people to afford, but Very difficult for Minorities. White voters would be given something simple to read, and minorities would be given bits of Shakespeare. 
Many states removed them voluntarily as they saw the way the mood of the country was moving, and as State Legislatures became more enlightened. However, for those states that did not, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended the practices everywhere for good.


<span>The Twenty Fourth Amendment, ratified in 1964, outlawed poll taxes. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the law that outlawed literacy tests.</span>

The industrial region Germany annexed before the war was
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Germany annexed the Sudetenland prior to WWII.

Explanation:

For many centuries prior to World War One, the Sudetenland was part of Bohemia, an area inhabited mostly by Czhechs. This region was located in the Archduchy of Austria, later the Austrian Empire, and after that the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Sudetenland at the time was called German Bohemia, and it was on the outer edges of the region of Bohemia. After Austria-Hungary's dissolution, the area was awarded to the new nation of Czechoslovakia as the Entente wanted to seek it as an ally. In the 1930s, Germany, under the Nazis, expanded its territory. It annexed Austria in 1938, then the Sudetenland in 1939, followed by the rest of Czechoslovakia soon after. Its invasion of Poland began the Second World War.

Hope this helped!

What prompted the U.S formally to state its open door policy and 1899 in 1900
Valentin [98]

Answer: The United States had taken possession of the Philippines (as well as Guam and Puerto Rico) in 1898, after winning the Spanish-American War.   Thus US interest in Asia was heightened.

At the same time, other nations had begun competing for "spheres of influence" in trade access with China.


Further detail:

The Open Door policy was issued by the United States in 1899-1900 as a series of dispatches from the US Secretary of State to other nations that had trading interests in China --  Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and Russia.  The policy reasserted earlier agreements that all countries should have equal access to ports in China, without undue preference to "spheres of influence" for one nation or another.  The United States was seeking to maintain an equal footing with other nations in the access to trade in China.
