here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by quills and scrolls. the

00:09

ipad's of the 1800s. all right check out this paragraph otherwise known as the

00:16

15th amendment. [mumbling]

00:19

[mumbling]

00:22

[mumbling]

00:26

[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]
