Jim Crow voting restrictions--The South had restricted voting through literacy tests and poll taxes. This prevented many from voting.

The 15th Amendment granted the right to vote regardless of race. However, blacks in the South were forced to take literacy tests and pay poll taxes for access to the vote. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 abolished the gates preventing or limiting votes access to blacks.

saveliy_v [14]

Andrew Jackson was a strong-minded president who almost got everything that he proposed. He strengthened the federal government( He just sent the troops to North Carolina). He also made the National Bank to be closed which led to the Panic of 1837. This guy pushed the Indians out west. He was also criticized for appointing his supporters in government positions.
