Answer:

By the mid-1600s, less than half a century after the English had opened the way for full-scale European settlement, serious crises were brewing in the American colonies. At first tensions were caused by a steadily increasing population: massive numbers of settlers required more land, additional dwellings and other accommodations, greater food supplies, and expanded trade and transportation networks. The immediate victims were Native Americans, who suffered mistreatment at the hands of colonists scrambling to grab land and natural resources. A demand for more laborers also created the institution of slavery, as millions of Africans were transported into the colonies during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Among the colonists themselves, religious differences were escalating into confrontations, land squabbles were causing rebellions, and class divisions were breeding unrest.

Restrict the ability of African Americans to obtain voting rights.

The black community had less access to education than whites even after slavery was ended; thus their literacy rates were lower. They also experienced much poverty because of prejudice against them in the economic system of the country, so poll taxes could keep them from going to the polls to vote. The "grandfather clauses" were exemptions granted by some states to those whose forefathers ("grandfathers") had full voting rights prior to the Civil War, so if there were poor or illiterate whites, they could vote freely while blacks (whose ancestors had been slaves) were subjected to the laws restricting their voting ability.

These sorts of restrictions against black voters prompted much of the activism of the civil rights movement that began in the middle of the 20th century.

PLES HELP FREE BRAINLESS How did the actions of Bartolome de las Casa lead to the start of African slavery in the Americas? ОА.

Answer:

OD Bartolome de las Casa helped lead several American Indian uprisings against their forced labor.

Explanation:

Here is some information that I found

"While the Pope had granted Spain sovereignty over the New World, de Las Casas argued that the property rights and rights to their own labor still belonged to the native peoples. Natives were subjects of the Spanish crown, and to treat them as less than human violated the laws of God, nature, and Spain."

He basically fought against slavery and showed the oppression of the Natives.

Since he fought against Spain this is probably the answer: OD Bartolome de las Casa helped lead several American Indian uprisings against their forced labor.

Hope this helps! :)
