Answer:

15th Amendment.

Explanation:

The 15th Amendment of the Constitution of America allowed all men to vote without racism and discrimination. The law after the Civil War granted the rights to the African Americans (now freed) to vote. Before ratifying the amendment, only white men in America were allowed to vote and elect the government. The 15th Amendment was rectified during the Reconstruction era along with other Amendments like the 13th and 14th.

The correct answer is:

C. The spread of monotheism threatened meccas economy, which relied on the wealth of non-muslim pilgrims.

Explanation:

Muhammad (570-632 d.c) was the founder of the Islam, Muslims believe that he was God's last messenger, and that he was chosen to deliver the word of God. Muhammad's revelation occurred when he was 40 years old, and the following 13 years he faced great opposition from leaders in Mecca mainly because of his message of monotheism (one God).

Leaders in Mecca believed in many gods, and saw their power and economy threatened by Muhammad's words because his message stated equality and individual accountability to God. They feared that Muhammad could seek political power and that if people stopped worshipping their gods, the pilgrimages to Mecca that made them rich could stop too.

What was the impact of the sinking of the USS Maine? The Lusitania?
Lera25 [3.4K]

It is consider that both the sinking if the USS Maine and The Lusitania were factors in US entering two different wars (the war between US and Spain and the First World War).

The USS Maine was sunk in 1898 in Cuba. The battleship was near the  Cuban coast while there was a conflict between Spain and Cuban nationalists  fighters. It is believed that a mine was the cause of the explosion of the USS Maine resulting in the death of hundreds of men on board. There was already support in the US for the Cuban nationalist cause and the USS Maine incident galvanized the public opinion against Spain.

The Lusitania was sunk by a German submarine in 1915 near Ireland. The Lusitania was a civilian ship (although it was also carrying military supplies to England) and its sinking had a profound impact on public opinion. It helped the US goverment obtain popular support to declare war on Germany.
