Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act in 1924 that allowed some Native Americans the vote However some states?

In 1924 American Indian world war I veterans came home to find that they still were not able to vote . To rectify that the Indian Citizen Act was passed giving the Indian that right. However, many of the states still denied the American Indian this basic right. Arizona did not allow Indians to vote until they could read and write the US constitution without any help until the US government forced them to repeal that state law in 1965. Maine would not allow Indians to vote until 1954 in federal elections and not until 1967 were they allow to vote in state elections. Utah held out until 1957 and New Mexico did not allow the Indian to vote until 1962. These states were not the only ones who defied federal law and did not allow the Indian the vote.


Why was the french and Indian war a critical event in American colonists' relationship with Great Britain?

After the French & Indian War, some events took place that made Americans realize their liberties were being denied. Since the War had brought debts for the British, they realized they needed to gain more money, so they started imposing taxes on the Colonists, something they didn't like. Some tried to "rebel" (Radical Whigs), while others wanted the tax removed, but they did not want to separate from Britain. An example of how the American's rights were being denied was that when a colonist served in the army they could not be anything higher than Colonel. Also, even though the colonists got a lot of new land, they were not allowed to settle in it. Governors and Generals also did not believe Americans were Englishmen, and they were treated badly. Britain also felt Americans needed protection so permanents troops were stationed in America, and the Americans had to house the troops. In conclusion, the aftermath of the French & Indian War played a significant part as a starting point for the American Revolution.


What are the results of the Iran-Iraq War?

Saddam Hussein's eastward intentions were denied. His ambition was directed toward Kuwait. Consequently, an American fleet controls the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean, which is why India recently laid down the keel for her first indigenous aircraft carrier, and an American army stands on top of most of the oil in the world. That army will be there as long as is necessary, despite what a Presidential candidate might promise from time to time.
