If you are working with a partner, share it with them and allow them to edit the Padlet. 
Then, choose the three most important expansions and the three most important contractions/ restrictions in voting rights throughout the history of the US.   For each event, determine the year the event happened and click the "plus" sign between the already existing timeline events to add the event in chronological order.  Then, for each entry: add a picture to symbolize the event, title the event with the year it happened, provide a 1-3 sentence paraphrased explanation of the event, and create a 1-3 sentence analysis as to why you chose this event (ie. analyze why this is such a significant event). The first event on the timeline (1789) has been done to model how you should do your events. 
Note: it is an expectation that you will be practicing your paraphrasing skills in each of your six explanations.]]> 2020-10-30 00:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875205104 jhuang5595 https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875205105 EXPLANATION: The Constitution was passed, and the first Congress met with the newly elected President, George Washington leading the country. The words in the Constitution did not define who a citizen was but instead said that any citizen of a state was deemed a citizen of the nation. At the time, most states only granted the right to vote to white, male property owners, and therefore, poor people, women, Native Americans, and African- Americans were restricted from voting.
Analysis: This event was significant because right when the United States gained its independence from Great Britain, the Founding Fathers decided to restrict the right to vote to a limited few: white, male property owners.  The fight to gain equal voting rights for all has been ongoing for 231 years due to this early decision.  ]]> 2020-10-30 00:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875205105 jhuang5595 https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875205112 2020-10-30 00:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875205112 jhuang5595 https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875209315 Explanation: The 13th Amendment was ratified after the Civil War. This was the first move of granting suffrage for black people.

Analysis: This event was significant because 13th Amendment was the first ever amendment made towards full suffrage for black people, but there would be other amendments that defines the role of blacks like the 14th and 15th Amendments. ]]> 2020-10-30 00:04:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875209315 jhuang5595 https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875231965 Explanation: The 14th amendment defines the US citizen, and it clarifies who could vote.

Analysis: It's important because it's a amendment that said all people born or naturalized in the United States are seen as American citizens and citizens of the States where they live. Immigrant children, even illegal immigrants, are citizens who may vote when they become adults.]]> 2020-10-30 00:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875231965 jhuang5595 https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875238755 Explanation: This amendment does not explicitly give non-whites and women the right to vote, and most States prohibit imprisoned felons from voting.

Analysis: This event is important because although the 14th amendment defines the U.S. citizen, and citizens may vote when they become adults, women of all race still can't vote!

It stated that it is forbidding to use the person's race, color, or previous status of being a slave to disqualify their rights to vote. This amendment granted voting rights for black adult males , but it doesn't grant any suffrage for females.

Analysis: This event is significant  because it's a major movement for giving the male black men their voting rights, but it doesn't include females of any race, which was really unfair.]]> 2020-10-30 00:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875242774 jhuang5595 https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875249945 Explanation: Lots of people try to find ways for African-Americans not to vote.

Analysis: This event is important because after they'd establish the 15th Amendment, people started to use violence, legislation, and intimidation to keep Africans-Americans from voting, they had used things like poll taxes to keep them from voting too, this is so unfair. Also, there was a group called KKK(Ku Klux Klan),  and KKK was the major violence that keeps Africans-Americans from voting.]]> 2020-10-30 00:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875249945 jhuang5595 https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875425589 Explanation: The Indian Citizenship Act was granting the American Indians citizenship of the US because of their service in WWI. Although this act gave the Indians their citizenship, many eastern states still doesn't want to allow them to vote, so the states had used physical violence, destruction of property, and other tactics to stop the Indians from voting.

Analysis: This event is significant because it's the first time Native Americans were granted American citizenship, even though they were the first people to live on this land. But still, many of the eastern states won't let them to vote.]]> 2020-10-30 02:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jhuang5595/sky6kzvw13ke32vk/wish/875425589
