The result is: "It exemplifies how Jim Crow Laws violated the equality provisions included in the 14th Amendment".

The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution was enacted in 1868, in the aftermath of the US Civil War. Its provisions guaranteed the equality of rights for all US citizens, without discrimination in terms of race, gender, religion or others. Such rights included voting rights.

But in practice, many Southern states tried to circumvent the mentioned provisions by enacting the so-called Jim Crow laws, which tried to indirectly prevent African Americans from voting by setting requirements to have access to vote, such as, minimum income level or passing a literacy test. The majority of people who did not meet the criteria were black citizens.

The US Supreme Court kept on overturning these laws, but as soon one of them was prohibited, a new one was ready. This mechanism was not stopped until the enactment of the Voting Rights Act in 1975, which finally brought equality of rights in voting for all US citizens, also in practice.

Please help! I really need it :(( Does anyone know anything about the Culper Spy Ring? I need to write an informative essay
schepotkina [342]
So I saw that you needed help, so I looked it up, but then I realized that I already knew a few things about the Culper Spy Ring. Here's a few facts you could use:

It was formed by American Major Benjamin Tallmadge under orders from General George Washington in 1778

The name "Culper" was suggested by Washington, and it was named after Culpeper County, Virginia

The two main members of the ring were Abraham Woodhull and Robert
Townsend

Members were both men and women

Their main responsibility was to provide information about British movement. At one point they sent word to Washington the British forces were planning a surprise attack on French Lieutenant General Rochambeau, as well as reporting the British planned to use counterfeit American currency on Continental dollar paper to get the Continental Congress to retire the bills. They told Washington British Major General William Tyron's raid was a diversion, so that Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton could attack him by surprise. They also found out that a high-ranking American official named Benedict Arnold was hiding out as a British spy.

Though nothing was ever confirmed, many say the Culper Ring exposed an attempt on General Washington's life.

There was a female spy who is only known as Agent 355. Her identity remains unknown to this day.

Hope that helps!

What unfortunate event inspired Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton to plan a women's rights convention?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:  At the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840, women in attendance were segregated from men and were not allowed full access to the proceedings.  Mott and Cady Stanton left the convention because of that rule, and decided they would form a society and plan a convention to promote women's rights.

More details:

Attending the 1840 abolitionist convention in London was when Elizabeth Cady Stanton first met.  They both had been sent as official delegates to the convention, representing groups in America.  But when they arrived and were told that women would not have full participation and should rely on men to speak for them, they left.  As Cady Stanton remembered it, she and Mott "walked arm in arm, commenting on the incidents of the day," and "resolved to hold a convention as soon as we returned home, and form a society to advocate the rights of women" (quoted in New York Historical Society resource page, 2017).

The convention that was planned by Mott and Cady Stanton took place in 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York.  It  was the first women's rights convention to be held in the United States, and was organized by women. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was lead author of an important document issued by what we now call the "Seneca Falls Convention."  <em>The Declaration of Sentiments </em>was signed by 68 women and 32 men who had been among the participants in the convention. The document was modeled after Thomas Jefferson's <em>Declaration of Independence</em>.  In the way that Jefferson had listed grievances against the British monarchy, the <em>Declaration of Sentiments</em> listed grievances against how man had oppressed woman in regard to civil rights.
