Answer:
Correct answer is C) African tribes exchanged captive Africans with European slave traders, who transported them to the Americas under inhumane conditions.
Explanation:
Option A is not correct as in general not so many Indians crossed Atlantic Ocean in general, and were not part of the Atlantic slave trade.
B is not correct as Africans were not brought there to built their settlement, but to work as slaves.
C is correct as this is the best definition of slave trade. Slaves were sold in West Africa and sent to the New World, where they would work, mostly on plantation, and were treated as they were not human.
D is not correct as this was not the case, and was not included in this process.
Answer:
Twenty-sixth Amendment, amendment (1971) to the Constitution of the United States that extended voting rights (suffrage) to citizens aged 18 years or older. Traditionally, the voting age in most states was 21, though in the 1950s Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower signaled his support for lowering it. Attempts to establish a national standardized voting age, however, were met with opposition from the states. In 1970 Pres. Richard M. Nixon signed an extension of the Voting Rights Act (1965), which lowered the age of eligibility to vote in all federal and state elections to 18. (Nixon himself was skeptical of the constitutionality of this provision.) Two states (Oregon and Texas) filed suit, claiming that the law violated the reserve powers of the states to set their own voting-age requirements, and in Oregon v. Mitchell (1970) the U.S. Supreme Court upheld this claim.
In response to this setback, and in particular spurred by student activism during the Vietnam War and the fact that 18-year-olds could be drafted to fight in the war but could not vote in federal elections in most states, an amendment was introduced in the U.S. Congress. It won congressional backing on March 23, 1971, and was ratified by the states on July 1, 1971—marking the shortest interval between Congressional approval and ratification of an amendment in U.S. history. The administrator of general services officially certified ratification of the Twenty-sixth Amendment on July 5.
