consider The 15th Amendment said that you could
not keep anyone from voting based on race, but it
did not say you could not keep someone from
voting based on anything else. Think about the
black population at this time. What other
restrictions could you place on voting that would
keep most blacks from the polls? Here is one
example, try to think of some others. i.e. You
cannot vote if your grandfather could not vote.

Jim Crow Internet Assignment
Jim Crow was not a person, yet affected the lives
of millions of people. Named after a popular
19th-century minstrel song that stereotyped
African Americans, "Jim Crow" came to describe
the system of government-approved racial
oppression and segregation (separation based on
race) in the United States.
Open up the PBS website about Jim Crow at
www.pbs.org/wnet/jimcrow/index.html to complete
the activities below. Stay focused on the

• Atlanta Compromise

One of Theodore Roosevelt's first controversial
actions as president was to invite
African-American leader Booker T. Washington to
dine with him privately at the White House in
October 1901. This recognition solidified Booker
T. Washington's control over the limited
political patronage given to African Americans,
and raised an outcry among southern Democrats.
Roosevelt defended his actions, but did not again
openly socialize with Washington or any other
African-American leader.
