How did the grandfather clause, which was enacted in southern states during Reconstruction, stop certain races of people from vo

ting?
A,)At least one member of a family had to own land to vote, but many blacks did not own land. Therefore, the vote was heavily decided by white citizens.
B.)The head of household of a family had to sign up family members to vote. Many head of households of black families were illiterate, so they were unable to read the paperwork necessary to register for voting.
C.)Citizens had to pass literacy tests to vote, but those who had ancestors who were eligible to vote were exempt from tests. This meant many blacks could not vote because they could not read and only had ancestors who were slaves and who therefore were ineligible to vote.
D.)All citizens were required to provide documentation to vote. Whites already had access to official documents, having been citizens since birth, while blacks had to apply for and purchase documents. This was a long and difficult process that limited their access to voting.

Answer:

C.)Citizens had to pass literacy tests to vote, but those who had ancestors who were eligible to vote were exempt from tests. This meant many blacks could not vote because they could not read and only had ancestors who were slaves and who therefore were ineligible to vote.

Explanation:

The Grandfather clause, which was enacted in southern states during Reconstruction, stop certain races of people from voting by ensuring "Citizens had to pass literacy tests to vote, but those who had ancestors who were eligible to vote were exempt from tests.

It stated that anybody who had in the past held the right to vote before the period of 1866 or 1867, and their lineal descendants would be free from necessarily meeting the educational, property, or tax requirements for voting.

What did Irish immagrents experience that might motivate all Irish people to use St. Patrick's Day to proudly celebrate their pa
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Christianity!

Explanation:

Ireland was (and is) a very catholic country. Legend has it that St Patrick explained the Holy Trinity using a Shamrock and brought Catholicism to Ireland. Paradoxically, St Patrick was British. Celebrating St Patrick's is both a Catholic and Irish thing to do but with the years has become more of a laic celebration on the surface.

Match these items. 1. exhaustion or emptying of supply or reserve depletion 2. uncleanness; impurity pesticide 3. man-made objec
Fantom [35]

1. Exhaustion or emptying of supply or reserve is depletion.


According to the dictionary, depletion is the loss of a principal substance in something or reduction of amount of something when it comes to quantity, quality, power, or value. If you’re exhausted you can say that your energy is depleted or if there’s no more water in a reservoir you can say that your water reserves are depleted

2. Uncleanness is impurity

This concept is often used in chemistry when you are trying to see how pure a compound is a chemical is. You wouldn’t say however that there is “uncleanness” in your compound but would use the word impurities since it is the more adequate term. Impurities can affect the chemical in various ways, from good to bad.

3. Man-made object launched by rocket into space is a satellite

Satellites are bodies that orbit the earth in one way or another. They can either be natural like the Moon which is a satellite, or they can be man-made and used for various reasons such as providing internet, television, spying on enemies, or similar things. Such satellites are launched into space with rockets and remain there for a long time

4. Having to do with or pertaining to the sun is solar

Solar is an adjective that comes from the root “sol” which means the sun. It is used for anything that is connected to the sun in the similar way that lunar is used for the moon since “luna” means moon. This is why you have things like solar flares or our system which is called the solar system and not the sunny system.

5. Substance used to kill harmful insects or other organisms is a pesticide

Pesticides are substances or chemicals that are used to rid farms or plots of land from harmful organisms such as insects or bacteria or viruses or similar. They can also be natural. For example, you can introduce an insect that feeds on the insects that are bothering you but that doesn’t do damage to your produce

6. To travel in a path around the earth is to orbit


When you go around the Earth, or anything for example, in a circular manner then you are orbiting that body. For example, the moon and other satellites orbit the Earth, but the Earth orbits the Sun. Colloquially it is also said that any body that is within the reach of gravity is found in the Earth’s orbit.
