Why were Whites in the South so against Blacks having the right to vote?

History

Answer:

They didn't want to give up their superiority

Explanation:

African Americans were brought to the America's to be slaves, which they were for a very long time. They were looked down on by white people. It was until after the Civil War that the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were passed and gave African Americans equal rights. The 13th Amendment banned all slavery and involuntary servitude, the 14th Amendment allowed all males over 21 the right to vote, and the 15th Amendment said that the right to vote “shall not be denied…on account of race.” The South, which was a huge slavery supporter, built its economy on slavery. Once the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were passed, their way of life was ruined. Their economy crashed as well as their culture for decades maybe even centuries. But Southerners were strong believers of whiter superiority, which means that white people were better than everyone else who is not white. They believed that African Americans, their former slaves, participating in government was wrong and it just brought out the racist attitudes of the entire South. Mind you, the South was against the amendments, but were forced to pass them due to the Federal Government.

In what ways do the principles established in the Declaration reflect the political transformations taking place throughout the
Keith_Richards [23]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The ways in that the principles established in the Declaration reflected the political transformations taking place throughout the age of Atlantic revolutions were that the principles established in the Declaration of Independence were so valid for other nations that lived under the oppression of European monarchies that were cruel and absolutist, as was the case of France, for instance.

Indeed, the principles of equality, liberty, and rights for the citizens are universal and could be applied in other parts of the world. These principles were the basis for the Independence of Haiti or the many independence movements in México and Latin America.

Why was Lewis and Clark's expedition more valuable than Pike's?
nataly862011 [7]
I found this on this site hope it helps

When Napoleon needed money, he sold Jefferson the Louisiana Purchase, which he had acquired when he conquered Spain. To find out what he'd just purchased, Jefferson sent Merriweather Lewis and William Clark to explore it. It covered an area from Louisiana northward to Missouri and across the biggest part of the Great Plains and Northwest. The team which went with them included such diverse people as Sacajawea, a Shoshone Indian and her baby Lewis's slave, French trappers, woodsmen, and other interpreters. Lewis concentrated on cataloging what they found, such as the various Native American tribes, animals, and plants, and mapping the region, while Clark was the woodsman who led the expedition. They went through many hardships, though miraculously only one member of the expedition died over the several years they were gone. At one point they were starving in the Rocky Mountains--there was not enough fat on the deer they shot to keep them alive. They found an Indian tribe to barter with, but the chief refused to deal with them until Sacajawea walked in--she was his sister, who had been kidnapped from the tribe at the age of 5! Needless to say, they got their food. They made it to the Pacific Ocean, where they then split into two groups, one of which took a more southerly route back.

How did the American and French Revolutions affect the drive for independence in Latin nations?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Hope This Helps Have A Nice Day/Night :)

Explanation:

The success of the American Revolution showed that foreign rule could be thrown off. The French Revolution showed that the people could overthrow an unjust monarch. These two events inspired revolutions in Latin America, which had profound effects on the Spanish, Portuguese and French colonies in the Americas.

Why is the state of the union address speech fact checked
stealth61 [152]

Answer: To ensure the President is not lying to the people.

Explanation:

The State of the Union is a very important speech by the President and acts as an official update on the affairs of the country. As a democracy, it is important that ordinary Americans know what is going on in their country.

This is why it is important that whatever the President says is fact-checked to ensure that they are not misleading the nation on how the United States is doing. The people deserve to know the truth so that they may decide whether to keep going with the current administration or whether a change is needed.

Fact-checking the State of the Union can even be said to be a patriotic act as it ensures that the country is being fed the facts.
