    African Americans were not allowed to vote at all before 1870. That year, the effort to expand voting rights to these individuals began with the 15th Amendment. The 15th Amendment declares that the right to vote cannot be denied to any citizen of the United States because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. The amendment was intended to ensure that African American men could vote. Yet African Americans still did not have the right to vote until almost 90 years after the amendment was ratified.…

    White males over the age of 21 were the first to be able to participate in American democracy. Besides some taxpaying or property owning laws, the majority of all working class white males were eligible to vote by 1850. During this time, the nation was on the brink of a civil war. One of the underlying issues of the Civil War was slavery. Blacks were beginning to cry for equality, and their right to vote was not far off. The 15th amendment was quick to follow the Civil War, making it illegal to deny the right to vote to anyone on account of their race. Blacks did not actually gain the right to vote in all states until The Voting Rights Act in the 1960s.…

    After the Civil War, the United States entered a period known as the Reconstruction Era. During the Reconstruction Era, three pivotal amendments were passed and added to the Constitution. Amendment 13, passed in 1865 and perhaps the most crucial, abolished all slavery in the United States. Amendment 14 was passed in 1868 and granted African American citizenship, a step up from the 3/5 Compromise in which white slave owners could use each slave they owned as 3/5 of a person (and a vote) when it came time to vote for representatives in the late 1700s. The 15th Amendment, passed in 1870, granted black men the right to vote.…

    citizen of any color to vote. After Reconstruction, the New South,” enacted literacy tests, poll taxes, elaborate registration systems, and eventually whites-only Democratic Party primaries to exclude black voters(Document L). In addition, a poll tax receipt from Louisiana 1918 required voters to pay an expensive tax of $1.00 to vote (Document K). During the time the $1.00 tax made voting a luxury because it was an exorbitant price. This resulted in millions of blacks being unfairly rejected from the voting process which was a violation of their voting rights. Literacy tests also prevented black voting since there would be a change in difficulty based on your race. A drastic decrease in black voters was a result of these laws which countered the 15th amendment. The opposite side may claim that the poll tax applied to blacks and whites. However, the grandfather clause says that taxes and tests don’t apply to men who have had a father vote, which allowed whites to vote for free while blacks never voted before. These obstacles diminished the effect of the 15th Amendment and continuous efforts were made to cripple the rights of African…

    Civil rights have changed since the 1960s as before African American citizens were denied the right to vote. It wasn’t actually illegal to vote if you were African American; however it was made very hard to register to vote especially if they were in the southern parts of America. In 1870 after the American civil war states were prohibited to deny a person of colour the right to vote, although in some southern states it was made very difficult to register to vote or even enter the building. Sometimes they were denied the right to register or they weren’t allowed to even enter the registering building. After the U.S. Civil War (1861-65), the 15th Amendment, approved in 1870, prohibited states from denying a male citizen the right to vote…

    By the late 1870s, multiple discriminatory practices were used to prevent minorities from exercising their right to vote, especially in the South. The 15th Amendment was in reality only the beginning of a struggle for equality that would continue for more than century before African Americans could begin to participate fully in American public and life. "The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was signed into law which was to overcome legal barriers from the exercise to vote and prohibits racial discrimination in voting" ("U.S.…

    Maria Montessori was considered ahead of her time. She was born in Chiaravalle, in the province of Ancona, Italy in 1870 to an educated but not wealthy family. Despite her father's wishes and society's conservative ways at the time, she studied science. She was the first female physician in Italy when she graduated medical school in 1896. She worked mostly with the poor because she saw vast potential in them. She was an unselfish person and she traveled Italy speaking of women's rights and child labor law reforms. Not too long after graduating she was chosen to represent Italy in two different women's conferences. They were at Berlin in 1896 and also in London in 1900. Maria was appointed a professor of anthropology at the University of Rome in 1904. Maria's desire to help children drove her to give up her university chair and medical practice in 1906 to work with a group of sixty young children that had parents who worked. She founded a "Children's House" in Lorenzo, a district of Rome. What is now known as the Montessori method of education developed there. Everything Maria developed was based upon her observations of the children and how they do things naturally without help from adults. Maria made a total of two trips to the U.S. where she had supporters such as Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, and Helen Keller. She was renowned world wide for her "glass house" schoolroom exhibit at the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition in San Francisco. Maria opened many research facilities and training centers and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times in 1949, 1950, and 1951.…
