Which legislation helped end the Jim Crow laws that prevented African Americans from voting?

History

Well... A big vocab was one of the ways they stopped blacks from voting. They used literacy tests that and tested them unfairly. Or, they used poll taxes, which were generally charged in periods where African Americans had a significantly lesser income than whites.

Out of many trials, Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) marked the beginning of a 58-year period where Jim Crow was largely unchallenged and condoned by the federal government. Homer Plessy, a black man who tried to board a white-only train in Louisiana (the car designated for blacks was full), claimed the Louisiana segregation laws violated both his 13th and 14th Amendment rights. Once Plessy boarded the white-only train, he was forcibly removed and jailed. The Supreme Court, by a vote of 8-1, ruled that equal rights did not mean co-mingling of the races, effectively legalizing and facilitating "separate but equal" access for blacks. Again, the lone dissenter was Justice Harlan. Plessy not only perpetuated the white supremacist beliefs of the time, but also made it possible for states to make and enforce Jim Crow laws with impunity.

Answer:  (4) WEST

Moving to the West in the US altered traditional expectations of women's roles in a number of ways.  This expanded women's rights and led to Western states taking the lead in women's suffrage.

Some examples of women's expanding role in the West:

  • On the western frontier, women performed many of the same tasks as men in settling the land.  There was so much work to be done to establish a homestead, farm the land, etc, that women needed to assist in the physical labor.
  • Women were allowed to attend colleges because of the need to train teachers. As an example, what we know today as San Jose State University was first established as a "normal school" (teacher training college), in 1857.  It had its first graduating class in 1862, and all 54 of those graduates were women.   UCLA -- the University of California, Los Angeles, was also originally a "normal school" (teacher training college), established as a branch off the San Jose school.  Many women were becoming much involved in the  education field in the West.
  • Women also became doctors, lawyers, business owners, etc, in the West more readily than back East, because of the need for professionals in the Western territories.
  • Women were allowed to hold property in their own names in the West, and encouraged to do so as a way of increasing the land holdings of a family.

Because of women's expanding roles in the West, they also became much more involved politically in the newly established Western states -- and full voting rights came first to women in Western states.  In 1890, Wyoming became a state--and the first state in the US that allowed women to vote.  The next states to grant women the right to vote were also all Western states:  Colorado in 1893), Utah and Idaho in 1896, Washington in 1910), California in 1911), and Oregon, Kansas, and Arizona in 1912.
