History
2 answers:

To restrict the ability of African Americans to exercise 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.

The myth of the thanksgiving story and the last damage they imbue
dusya [7]

Answer:

In simple words, Thanksgiving can be understood as the tradition that builds on a legacy that has handed down over the centuries of what occurred in Plymouth: the brave, adventurous pioneers were invited by local Native Americans to something like a congratulatory banquet.

Some people claim that stating and restating these untruths were profoundly detrimental to the Wampanoag Indians, whose existence and community were destroyed permanently because after English appeared in Plymouth.
