The amendment that some Americans criticized as not going far enough to make suffrage universal was A. the Fifteenth Amendment, which granted the vote to African-American men. Around the period of the Civil War, campaigns for women's suffrage had begun to take hold. Many argued that the 15th Amendment should have expanded its scope and included women; however, the men responsible for the 15th Amendment feared that adding women to the mix could doom the amendment to failure. They argued that women were excluded in order to guarantee that at least African-American men be given the right to vote.
Answer:
effective
Explanation:
The "containment policy" was the U.S. approach to containing, or preventing, the spread of Communism after World War II. The idea was to make other countries prosperous enough to avoid the temptation of communism.
An early test of containment came in Greece and Turkey. In 1946, a civil war broke out in Greece, pitting Communist groups against the British-supported government. At the same time, the Soviet Union was pressuring Turkey to allow it to build naval bases on its northwestern coast, thereby giving the Soviet Black Sea Fleet easy access to the Mediterranean. When Great Britain announced it no longer had the resources to help Greece and Turkey meet the threats to their independence, the United States stepped in. President Truman asked Congress for $400 million in military and economic aid for Greece and Turkey in March 1947. Truman cited the United States' obligation to back free peoples who were resisting control by an armed minority or outside pressures. This policy, known as the Truman Doctrine, appeared to work: The Communists were defeated in the Greek Civil War in October 1949; and the foreign aid helped strengthen the Turkish economy.
Answer:
B. No women were allowed to speak at the 1963 March on Washington.
Explanation:
<u>Pauli Murray was civil rights and women’s rights activist that was fighting for the rights of African-American women. </u>
<u>In the wake of the historical March on Washington in 1963. she was angry at the organizers (Martin Luther King, Jr., A. Philip Randolph, and Bayard Rustin) that no women were included in the speeches given during the protest. </u>Suggestions about women speakers were made beforehand, but they refused to give excuses that the list of speakers was already filled.
Murrey saw this as the direct exclusion of the women from the fight and the movement. This is why she coined the term “Jane Crow” (mirroring the name of Jim Craw laws) – to underline the way gender discrimination was present in the civil rights movement as well, and how the racial and gender rights were connected.
Fort Henry and Donelson are significant because they provided successful defense for the
Union army. During the Battle for Fort Henry, the Union army secured an
important victory for the Union. During the Battle at Fort Donelson, the Union
capture of the Fort closed a vital avenue of invasion by the Confederates.
