15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Primary Documents in American History

Introduction

The 15th Amendment to the U.S. 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.

Southern Democrats

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Southern Democrats are members of the U.S. Democratic Party who reside in the Southern United States.

In the 19th century, Southern Democrats were people in the South who believed in Jacksonian democracy. In the 19th century, they defended slavery in the United States, and promoted its expansion into the West against northern Free Soil opposition. The United States presidential election of 1860 formalized the split in the Democratic Party and brought about the American Civil War. Stephen Douglas was the candidate for the Northern Democratic Party, and John C. Breckinridge represented the Southern Democratic Party. Abraham Lincoln, who opposed slavery, was the Republican Party candidate.[1] After Reconstruction ended in the late 1870s so-called redeemers controlled all the Southern states and disenfranchised blacks (who were Republicans). The "Solid South" gave nearly all its electoral votes to Democrats in presidential elections. Republicans seldom were elected to office outside some Appalachian mountain districts and a few heavily German-American counties of Texas

You are the idiot--I quoted reliable sources---you only resort to name calling like all leftists do when they cannot successfully contradict and prove 

wrong the opposing viewpoint.

This was in response to Golfer and O_U812 claiming that Biden has already accomplished so much.

Yeah well they're only trying to wind you up as you do him, you're both as bad as each other in that respect 😂

I know about the executive orders, but you have not answered my question of 'What has he done that is good for the country and the American middle class?'

as usual you haven't been paying attention. start with reversing most of dear leader's horrible policies & actually doing something about covid response.
