Correct answer:  

<h2>D. the 26th Amendment to the Constitution</h2>

The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.

Context/details:

There were strong protest movements going on in America during the 1960s, leading up to 1971 when the 26th Amendment was passed by Congress and ratified by the states.  Protests against the Vietnam War were active on college campuses across the country, with communication between students and media reports being a big part of the story.  Part of those protests were the demands of young people chanting, "Old enough to fight, old enough to vote."  Since 18 was old enough to be drafted to fight in the war, young people argued for their right to vote as full citizens.

The 26th Amendment was passed by Congress on March 23, 1971.  It was ratified by the states faster than any other amendment, achieving ratification by July 1, 1971.

The 26th Amendment is worded as follows:  

  • <em>Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.</em>
  • <em>Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.</em>

Explain why and how the Battle of Cold Harbor affected the Civil war? In 10-15 sentences.
Oksanka [162]

Explanation: Battle of Cold Harbor, (May 31–June 12, 1864), disastrous defeat for the Union Army during the American Civil War (1861–65) that caused some 18,000 casualties. Continuing his relentless drive toward the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia, General Ulysses S. Grant ordered a frontal infantry assault on General Robert E. Lee’s Confederate troops, who were now entrenched at Cold Harbor, some 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Richmond. The result was Lee’s last major victory of the war and a bloodbath for the Union army. An earlier battle at Cold Harbor, on June 27, 1862, is sometimes called the Battle of Gaines’s Mill, the First Battle of Cold Harbor, or the Battle of Chickahominy River and was part of the Seven Days’ Battles (June 25–July 1), which ended the Peninsular Campaign (April 4–July 1), the large-scale Union effort earlier in the war to capture Richmond; it, too, was a Confederate victory.
