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

1 answer:

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.

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

What were 4 factors that contributed to industrialization in britain

irakobra [83]

1. Many farmers and people living in the countryside migrating to the cities to look for jobs in factories. Increasing the employment in production factories increased the growth of industrialisation.

2. Development in transport (railway and canals) improved the speed of trade and made it easier for factories to distribute product, this helped industrialisation because increasing the rate of production and distribution made factories make more money.

3. Development in factory machinery and equipment made jobs easier and quicker to undertake. Speeding production and having to employ less people to do hard tasks meant the products being produced were of better quality and could be produced on a bigger scale. Growing producing rates increased the growth of industrialisation.

4. Britain increased its imports and exports a lot meaning it had plenty of trade, boosting economy and pushing for more change leading to industrialisation.
