Name 4 ways Southern Whites prevented African Americans from voting?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

1) Violence: Blacks who tried to vote were threatened, beaten, and killed.  Their families were also harmed.  Sometimes their homes were burned down.  Often, they lost their jobs or were thrown off their farms.

Whites used violence to intimidate blacks and prevent them from even thinking about voting. Still, some blacks passed the requirements to vote and took the risk. Some whites used violence to punish those “uppity” people and show other blacks what would happen to them if they voted.

2) Literacy tests: Today almost all adults can read.  One hundred years ago, however, many people – black and white – were illiterate.  Most illiterate people were not allowed to vote. A few were allowed if they could understand what was read to them.  White officials usually claimed that whites could understand what was read. They said blacks could not understand it, even when they clearly could.

3) Property tests: In the South one hundred years ago, many states allowed only property owners to vote.  Many blacks and whites had no property and could not vote.

4) Grandfather clause: People who could not read and owned no property were allowed to vote if their fathers or grandfathers had voted before 1867.  Of course, practically no blacks could vote before 1867, so the grandfather clause worked only for whites.

Explanation: From about 1900 to 1965, most African Americans were not allowed to vote in the South. This was especially true in the Deep South: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.

White people in power used many methods to keep African Americans from voting.  Some of these methods also prevented poor white people from voting.

what was one weakness of the articles of confederation in establishing the first government of the United States A. any measure
Semenov [28]
The answer is letter a. It created a too-weak national government.  When Congress drafted the nation's first constitution in 1777, it knew that many Americans dreaded a powerful national government. For that reason, the proposed Articles of Confederation created a framework for a loose confederation of states. Within this coalition, each state would retain "sovereignty, freedom, and independence." Also, the Congress was made up of delegates chosen by the states and could conduct foreign affairs, create treaties, proclaim war, uphold an army and a navy, coin money, and establish post offices. However, measures passed by Congress had to be approved by 9 of the 13 states. Since the Articles did not set up an executive branch to carry out the laws or a judicial branch to settle legal questions.

What plot does Mother Jones devise to bring the plight of the child mill workers to the general public?
Mariulka [41]

Answer: She convinced other unions that the children's strike was more important.

Explanation:

Mother Jones was one of the leaders of the strike forces in the United States. At that moment, a strike of miners was being prepared. However, she then came to know about the horrible conditions in which minors work in the Kensington mill. That is why she decided to shift the focus of the strike in favour of those children. She organized a children's strike from Philadelphia to New York, and it was the first children's strike in the history of the United States.
