Print March 4, 2005 DATE EVENT WHAT HAPPENED White men with property have the right to vote but Catholics, Jews, Quakers and others are barred from voting. The Naturalization Act bars Asian Americans from becoming citizens. New Hampshire eliminates property ownership requirements, which gives more white men the opportunity to vote. New Hampshire becomes the first state to eliminate the rule that only property owners and taxpayers can vote. Following New Hampshire's lead, other states begin to shift away from such restrictions in an effort to open the electorate to more white males. Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry redraws voting district lines to favor the Republican-dominated legislature against the Federalist Party. Today, the term "gerrymander" means the drawing of legislative district lines, usually in a bizarre manner, to give an unfair advantage to one group or political party. Although the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1986 in Davis v. Bandemer that the question of partisan gerrymandering could be settled in a court of law, no court has ever invalidated a redistricting plan on the basis of partisan gerrymandering. The Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo ends the Mexican American War, giving Mexicans in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas U.S. citizenship.

Read on to learn about it. The Civil Rights Movement in America in the ‘60s was significant and eventful. The era was marked by protests against the Vietnam War and passing of the most advanced civil rights laws. Four black students from the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College sat down at the lunch counter located in the Greensboro’s Woolworth’s store and ordered coffee on February 1, 1960. The waitress refused to serve them unless they drank it while standing because the counter only served white customers. The next day they returned with more students, and sat in peaceful protest until the counter closed for the day. Students from other southern black colleges and universities followed with similar sit-ins that brought about the desegregation of several hundred-lunch counters. During the sit-ins the young black protestors organized the SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee). Many SNCC members joined forces with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) which was founded in Chicago in the ‘40s. It organized the Freedom Rides of 1961. The first group of Freedom Riders boarded two buses in Washington D.C and embarked on a route through the South to test the 1960 Supreme Court decision Boynton vs. Virginia, which had outlawed segregation in interstate transportation terminals. Even though the Freedom Riders were arrested, beaten and in one instance had their bus burned down they were eventually successful, prompting the Interstate Commerce Commission to enforce the ruling in Boynton. Martin Luther King Jr. led a mass protest campaign in Albany, Georgia during 1961-62 called the Albany movement. In 1962 Cesar Chavez in California organized a migrant farm worker strike and a 250-mile march. His goal was to bring improvements in working conditions and low pay for Hispanic farm workers.
