"Two Important Laws That Changed America"

                                                                                                               
Vote



             The 15th amendment was known as a grant for black men to vote. This  law ensured that if you are any race you are able to vote. This law was ratified on February 3 and in the year of 1870, however it had to be in the year of 1965 that some African American men were registered to vote in the south. New York ratified this amendment on April 14, 1869, rescinded on January 5, 1870, rescinded the rescission on March 30, 1870.

             The 19th Amendment was the women's rights suffrage. Back in the days women were not aloud to vote
which was wrong. Anyways they had a convention in Seneca Falls, N. Y. in 1848 were feminist attended.This amendment was ratified August 18,1920. One of the feminist was Susan B. Anthony she died before the law was ratified. If you think about it that wasn't many years back when women got their freedom. We should 
say thanks to the feminist who fought for  women's  rights.
          
         These two laws sought to address both economic and social problem because it has  to do with voting.  They both have to do with people fighting for their rights. The people had the rights to speak. They made  our world today. The 15th amendment gave former slaves get  to vote. The 19th Amendment gave all women to vote and also gain respect. Without the ratifications and work for these laws our world wouldn't be how it  is  today.
