Answer:

The real answer is that Russia needed a port in the black sea for trade and influence. Also the old Russian empire fought the Ottomans to gain this territory. Back then in the Russian Empire era, There was no such thing as Ukrainian country nor a group. Even the now days Ukrainians have a different culture and dialect. West, East,North and  east Pontic steppe which are way more closer to Russia. Russia believed the Crimea and eastern Ukraine belongs to Russia. The reason for today's hatred of the Ukrainian people towards the Russians is that during Stalins soviet era, he starved many Ukrainians over 5 million died. The treatment of the Ukrainians was so bad that even when the Nazis arrived in the Ukraine during WW2, it was seen as liberation.

                         

Explanation:

Main reasons

1. Influence and trade

2.Crimea is majority Russian.

3.Ukraine was created in 1918 and was never really a country. The region of the Ukraine was inhabited by many peoples over history like golden hordes, the Turks, Russians, Germans, Romans. So Russians view Ukraine's legitimacy very low.

4.Eastern Ukrainians want to be a part of Russia and western Ukrainians want to be left alone.

5.Putin wants to revive Russia to be a super power again.

  • The answer is:

B. African American men were granted the right to vote.

  • Only days after the end of the American Civil War, in 1865, Frederick Douglass, elected president of the <u>Convention of Black Americans</u>, spoke during a meeting of the African Slavery Society, explaining why the black men required the right to vote and the need to make justice for them. Here is an excerpt of what his speech:

<em>“…If the Negro knows enough to pay taxes to support government, he knows enough to vote; taxation and representation should go together. If he knows enough to shoulder a musket and fight for the flag for the government, he knows enough to vote…What I ask for the Negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice.” </em>

  • Thus, in 1869, while this issue was being discussed in the Congress, 150 black men from several states gathered for the <u>Convention of Black Americans</u>, which took place in Washington, D.C. and was the first one in the U.S. history.
  • After debating in the Congress, the 15th Amendment, which granted male African American the right to vote, was finally adopted in 1870. Moreover, the Article 1 of such Amendment states that <em>"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” </em>
