(13,560 posts)The question is misleading. While the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920 it did not undo the state laws that barred black women from voting. Black women in some states were able to vote, but the South continued with their Jim Crow laws so it was several years later before black women were allowed to vote.

(69,642 posts)It's almost as if it deliberately disregards the Jim Crow laws that prevented many Black people from voting until the 1960s. Gee, I wonder why...
I got 10/10 but I found several of the questions to be rather irrelevant to understanding U.S. history and the Constitution. You can see MAGATs got hold of the test and twisted it a bit.

(2,137 posts)Forget which website I landed at but it was ridiculous. The first sample test, while dated 2025 had answers from years ago. I knew the answers, but technically, they were wrong.
The second sample test had a question with an answer that it judged to be wrong, even though it was an accepted answer on the first sample test. (One power of the President is to veto bills; you just told me that!)
The second sample test asked how many Senators each state has. There were four answers; two was not one of them.
