The Fifteenth Amendment was ratified in order to
abolish the practice of slavery
. In response, southern states began imposing
land grants
designed to weaken the effects of the amendment. is this correct
Not exactly. The Fifteenth Amendment was ratified to give all male citizens the right to vote, regardless of their race or previous condition of servitude. While southern states did enact various laws and practices to circumvent the effects of the Fifteenth Amendment, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, the idea of imposing "land grants" to weaken the effects of the amendment is not accurate. Land grants were more commonly associated with the distribution of land to individuals or groups, often by the government or private entities.
The Fifteenth Amendment was ratified in order to
establish the Freedman's Bureau
. In response, southern states began imposing
land grants
designed to weaken the effects of the amendment. is this the right one
Still not quite accurate. The Fifteenth Amendment was ratified specifically to give African American men the right to vote, not necessarily to establish the Freedmen's Bureau. The Freedmen's Bureau was a federal agency created to assist formerly enslaved individuals and other refugees in the aftermath of the Civil War, providing food, housing, medical aid, and education. Southern states did indeed enact various tactics to undermine the Fifteenth Amendment, as mentioned earlier, but the connection between the amendment and the establishment of land grants by southern states is not historically accurate.
The Fifteenth Amendment was ratified in order to
provide suffrage to African American men
. In response, southern states began imposing
land grants
designed to weaken the effects of the amendment. is this right
While the first part of the statement is correct - the Fifteenth Amendment was ratified to provide suffrage (voting rights) to African American men, the second part about southern states imposing land grants to weaken the effects of the amendment is not accurate. Southern states did enact various laws and practices, like poll taxes, literacy tests, and intimidation tactics, to try to prevent African Americans from exercising their right to vote, but the specific mention of "land grants" is not typically associated with these efforts. Land grants were more commonly associated with the distribution of land, either by the government or other entities, and are not directly linked to the Southern response to the Fifteenth Amendment.
so should military draft or poll tax go in second
The correct response to the statement would be:
The Fifteenth Amendment was ratified in order to provide suffrage to African American men. In response, southern states began imposing poll taxes designed to weaken the effects of the amendment.
Poll taxes were one of the methods used by southern states to disenfranchise African American voters after the Fifteenth Amendment was ratified.
