What caused the number of African-Americans who participated in politics through voting and running for political offices to rise during the reconstruction era ?

Abolition of Slavery

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there,

Before the Reconstruction period, slavery was commonplace in the southern regions of the US. After the Civil War, slavery was outlawed and allowed former slaves an opportunity to run for public office. They were finally considered people rather than a possession. Had slavery not been abolished, it would have been impossible for African Americans to run for political offices.

*While the abolition of slavery was one of the causes, there were several other factors that helped increase the number of African Americans in public office. This is not the only correct answer.

Hope this answers your question. Cheers.

okay so 15.15 *()5: +5/6

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
