[mumbling] all right which
- 00:29
of the following best describes the public's perception of the goal
- 00:32
presented in the amendment? and here's essential answers. my resistance
- 00:36
accepting difference rejected .alright well after the thirteenth and fourteenth
- 00:41
amendments abolished slavery, the fifteenth amendment granted [scissors labeled "13th amendment" cut up paper labeled "slavery"]
- 00:45
african-american men the right to vote. emphasis on men. because women of all
- 00:50
races would have to wait another 50 years before they be granted the same
- 00:53
right. well you can't expect us to learn all or lessons at once.
- 00:58
anyway as you probably guessed every last person was totally stoked by the
- 01:03
passage of the amendment the citizenry joined arm-in-arm in a display of
- 01:07
brotherly love .Yeah right. much of the public disagreed with the amendment
- 01:12
particularly in the south. disagreed maybe putting it lightly. these folks
- 01:16
weren't shy about letting it be known that their knickers were in a serious
- 01:20
bunch so the answer can't be B or C there was neither widespread acceptance
- 01:25
or indifference. you might think that such staunch disagreement with the
- 01:29
amendment might produce some elaborate protest to overturn it, but that actually [white house pictured]
- 01:33
wasn't the case. as upset as some people might have been about it there wasn't
- 01:38
much rioting in the streets. everyone was tired from fighting a war. Rioting
- 01:42
sounded like way too much work. instead those opposed to the amendment schemed
- 01:46
behind the scenes to create illegal loopholes that prevented
- 01:50
african-americans from successfully voting. very Lex Luthor esque of them. so
- 01:56
yeah the correct answer is a the public reception of the 15th amendment was
- 02:00
resistance manifested in tactics to disenfranchise african-american voters.
- 02:05
it would take nearly a hundred years for the Voting Rights Act to be signed into
- 02:09
law, and remove the illegal barriers that kept
- 02:13
the fifteenth amendments from being truly effective. it's almost as long as
- 02:17
the average DMV visit. yeah. almost. [man grows white beard waiting in line at DMV]
