<em>D. It protected voting rights for all Americans by taking away qualifications.</em>

Explanation:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was very important and ensured voting rights for African American citizens. Before the Voting Rights Act, it proved to be very difficult to vote if you were African American or a non-English citizen.

The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965. The main problem appeared to be in the South, as many people still held prejudice towards African Americans. Many white Southerners did not want them to vote, as they were scared that they would vote for someone in power that would better the livelihoods of African Americans.

In order to keep African Americans from voting, white Southerners would enact literacy tests and poll taxes. During this time, it was hard for black citizens to obtain a proper education and many did not know how to read or write, so they would fail the literacy tests. Most of the time they did not have enough money for the poll taxes either.

Eventually, the Voting Rights Act was passed and it got rid of these qualifications that were needed, so it was easier for people to vote.

What action was an economic cause of increased tension between the north and south
gavmur [86]

In a nutshell, the protective tariffs were responsible for the development of the economy in the north but had the opposite impact in the south where they had the opposite effect.

This is further explained below.

<h3>What action was an economic cause of increased tension between the north and south?</h3>

Generally, One of the economic factors that contributed to the escalating tensions between the North and the South was the protective tariff. In terms of its economy, the North had developed into an industrialized region and had a large number of enterprises. On the other hand, the South maintained a significant reliance on agricultural production.

To assist the Northern Industries, high protective tariffs were imposed on commodities imported from other countries. Because of this, additional goods had to be purchased from northern vendors.

The South was forced to pay a higher price for the items that they imported from Europe as a result of this tariff, which benefited the North but put a bigger burden on the South.

To summarize, the protective tariffs contributed to the expansion of the economy in the north while having the opposite effect in the south.
