what was the voting experience like for African Americans after the Civil War?
Answer:
Voting Rights for African Americans
To the Colored Men of Voting Age in the Southern States: What a Colored Man Should Do to Vote, pamphlet circa 1900
A terrible and bloody Civil War freed enslaved Americans. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution (1868) granted African Americans the rights of citizenship. However, this did not always translate into the ability to vote. Black voters were systematically turned away from state polling places. To combat this problem, Congress passed the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870. It says:
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.
Yet states still found ways to circumvent the Constitution and prevent blacks from voting. Poll taxes, literacy tests, fraud and intimidation all turned African Americans away from the polls. Until the Supreme Court struck it down in 1915, many states used the "grandfather clause " to keep descendents of slaves out of elections. The clause said you could not vote unless your grandfather had voted -- an impossibility for most people whose ancestors were slaves.
This unfair treatment was debated on the street, in the Congress and in the press. A full fifty years after the Fifteenth Amendment passed, black Americans still found it difficult to vote, especially in the South." What a Colored Man Should Do to Vote", lists many of the barriers African American voters faced.
The fight for African American suffrage raged on for decades. In the 1930s one Georgia man described the situation this way: "Do you know I've never voted in my life, never been able to exercise my right as a citizen because of the poll tax? ... I can't pay a poll tax, can't have a voice in my own government."
Demonstrators marching in the street holding signs during the March on Washington, 1963
Many brave and impassioned Americans protested, marched, were arrested and even died working toward voting equality. In 1963 and 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. brought hundreds of black people to the courthouse in Selma, Alabama to register. When they were turned away, Dr. King organized and led protests that finally turned the tide of American political opinion. In 1964 the Twenty-fourth Amendment prohibited the use of poll taxes. In 1965, the Voting Rights Act directed the Attorney General to enforce the right to vote for African Americans.
The 1965 Voting Rights Act created a significant change in the status of African Americans throughout the South. The Voting Rights Act prohibited the states from using literacy tests and other methods of excluding African Americans from voting. Prior to this, only an estimated twenty-three percent of voting-age blacks were registered nationally, but by 1969 the number had jumped to sixty-one percent.

Using complete sentences, analyze how the 14th, 15th, and 19th Amendments of the United States Constitution have influenced change in American society.
Answer:
The fourteenth amendment guaranteed rights for citizens (regardless of race, gender, or creed) who are born or naturalized within the United States. Although racism still exists today, it is clear that race is not a factor in citizenship. The fifteenth amendment guaranteed all African American males the right to vote, and the nineteenth amendment gave women the right to vote. The effects of the fourteenth and nineteenth amendment are clear. While all citizens over eighteen now have the right to vote, the 2008 election proved that the effects are more far-reaching. For the first time, the presidential race saw both an African-American and a female seriously competing for the presidency.

In the year 1539... Fray Marcos reported seeing golden cities... In 1540, the
expedition of Francisco Vázquez de Coronado was disappointed in its search for the
Seven Cities of Cibola. This led Coronado to launch an unsuccessful search for gold
in Quivira...
-- adapted from Donald E. Chipman, "Seven Cities of Cibola," Handbook of Texas (Texas
State Historical Association)

What occurred as a result of the events described in the excerpt above?
A Spanish explorers used Native American guides to discover ancient cities of gold.
B Spain eventually abandoned the search for gold and began to establish missions.
C Spanish explorers found no gold and ceded the territory of Texas to France.
D French explorers discovered gold and were attacked by Spanish Conquistadors.
Answer:
B, Spain eventually abandoned the search for gold and began to establish missions.
Explanation:
Spanish explorers did use the guides but this was not after the exploration it was in the middle of it. D never happened because Coronados expedition never found gold or jewels. In 1769 the first mission from Spain was built in California and in 1632 Fort Angelo was built in Eastern Texas. From 1684-1689 Texas belonged to the French and Spain had Texas from 1690-1821. With this it looks like its B, Spain eventually abandoned the search for gold and began to establish missions. Maybe I am being too detailed oriented here but Spain did regain interest in Texas again because of the French so Spain never ceded Texas specifically to France they just abandoned it.
On a side note:
I never approached or even knew about this until you asked the question so I had to go to multiple sites and read all about Coronado's expedition and Spains history with France in Texas. Hopefully B is the correct answer but I believe but whats really confusing here is that if option C said "Spanish explorers found no gold and abandoned the territory of Texas leaving France to claim it." instead of "ceded to France" I would chosen C. I chose B based off of the fact that C is false from what I have read. Spain never ceded Texas to France they just abandoned it and after this Spain regained controls of Texas in 1690 and built missions from there on. Maybe your teacher did mean abandoned but him/ her using the word ceded specifically makes me think that choosing between B and C is very difficult because that was his intentions. I dont know how close to detail you should be looking at these questions so yeah I did what I could.

What is the New World?New World is often used to mean the majority of Earth's Western Hemisphere, specifically the Americas. The term gained prominence in the early 16th century, during Europe's Age of Discovery, shortly after the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci concluded that America represented a new continent, and subsequently published his findings in a pamphlet he titled Latin: Mundus Novus.
This realization expanded the geographical horizon of classical European geographers, who had thought the world consisted of Africa, Europe, and Asia, collectively now referred to as the Old World. The Americas were thus also referred to as the fourth part of the world.
The Florentine explorer Amerigo Vespucci is usually credited for coming up with the term "New World" for the Americas in his 1503 letter.
