The 15th Amendment to the Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Although ratified on February 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th Amendment would not be fully realized for almost a century. Through the use of poll taxes, literacy tests and other means, Southern states were able to effectively disenfranchise African Americans. It would take the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 before the majority of African Americans in the South were registered to vote.
I hope this helps! Ask me if you need anything else! :))
The correct answers are A and B.
<em>Free trade</em> seeks to eliminate barriers to imports and promote international trade. Yet it can be more than dangerous to the environment. The main concern is the lowering of national environmental standards in order to export more goods. With free trade, large amount of goods are transported every day which contributes to the rise of the carbon footprint of transportation. Increased production on agricultural farms means more pesticide use and more consumption of energy, all harmful to the environment.
<em>Trade barriers </em>can have a negative effect on the developing world ( overproduction and dumping ) but they do help 'infant industries'. Protective tariffs and trade barriers protect brand-new industries from foreign and national competition. This gives the new companies a bit more time to establish their position on the market.
Civilisation reached a high level in Egypt at an early period. The country was well suited for the people, with a fertile land thanks to the river Nile yet with a pleasing climate. It was also a country which was easily defended having few natural neighbours to attack it for the surrounding deserts provided a natural barrier to invading forces. As a consequence Egypt enjoyed long periods of peace when society advanced rapidly. By 3000 BC two earlier nations had joined to form a single Egyptian nation under a single ruler. Agriculture had been developed making heavy use of the regular wet and dry periods of the year. The Nile flooded during the rainy season providing fertile land which complex irrigation systems made fertile for growing crops. Knowing when the rainy season was about to arrive was vital and the study of astronomy developed to provide calendar information. The large area covered by the Egyptian nation required complex administration, a system of taxes, and armies had to be supported. As the society became more complex, records required to be kept, and computations done as the people bartered their goods. A need for counting arose, then writing and numerals were needed to record transactions. By 3000 BC the Egyptians had already developed their hieroglyphic writing (see our article Egyptian numerals for some more details). This marks the beginning of the Old Kingdom period during which the pyramids were built. For example the Great Pyramid at Giza was built around 2650 BC and it is a remarkable feat of engineering. This provides the clearest of indications that the society of that period had reached a high level of achievement. Hieroglyphs for writing and counting gave way to a hieratic script for both writing and numerals. Details of the numerals themselves are given in our article Egyptian numerals. Here we are concerned with the arithmetical methods which they devised to work with these numerals The Egyptian number systems were not well suited for arithmetical calculations. We are still today familiar with Roman numerals and so it is easy to understand that although addition of Roman numerals is quite satisfactory, multiplication and division are essentially impossible. The Egyptian system had similar drawbacks to that of Roman numerals. However, the Egyptians were very practical in their approach to mathematics and their trade required that they could deal in fractions. Trade also required multiplication and division to be possible so they devised remarkable methods to overcome the deficiencies in the number systems with which they had to work. Basically they had to devise methods of multiplication and division which only involved addition. Early hieroglyphic numerals can be found on temples, stone monuments and vases. They give little knowledge about any mathematical calculations which might have been done with the number systems. While these hieroglyphs were being carved in stone there was no need to develop symbols which could be written more quickly. However, once the Egyptians began to use flattened sheets of the dried papyrus reed as "paper" and the tip of a reed as a "pen" there was reason to develop more rapid means of writing. This prompted the development of hieratic writing and numerals. There must have been a large number of papyri, many dealing with mathematics in one form or another, but sadly since the material is rather fragile almost all have perished. It is remarkable that any have survived at all, and that they have is a consequence of the dry climatic conditions in Egypt. Two major mathematical documents survive. You can see an example of Egyptian mathematics written on the Rhind papyrus and another papyrus, the Moscow papyrus, with a translation into hieratic script. It is from these two documents that most of our knowledge of Egyptian mathematics comes and most of the mathematical information in this article is taken from these two ancient documents.
The choices were;
a.Columbia Plateau b.Great Plains c. Southwest d.<span>Southeast
Based on </span>American Civilization: An Introduction, written b<span>y David Mauk and John Oakland the answer is b. Great Plains.
The Native Americans who lived in the Great Plains also known as the bison region depend on their living on river banks, hunting and gathering.

For the most part, it began because due to the war with Napoleon of France, and the issue of conscription, Britain had to "kidnap" American ships to search for their own people that escaped from conscription. Not only that, they blockaded American ships that were headed for France. These marine issues agitated the States into eventually declaring war on Britain. Although the States fought poorly and Britain basically would have won, they settled for a treaty. Americans thought they won, and called it the Second Independence or revolution. It's true, it was the second time they stood up to Britain and got away with it, so their national morale grew enormously. Especially with what Andrew Jackson did in the end, easily beating back the Britain troops who were unaware of the treaty at the time.
