Cortes events in correct order

1. cortes marched up coast of Mexico and conquered Veracruz.

2. Cortes established alliances with enemies of Aztecs.

3. Moctezuma ll welcome the spanish.

4. Cortes and his men brought smallpox to Tenochtitlan.

Example:

Cortes first arrived in the south of Mexico and had a brief encounter with the Maya.  From there he continued up the coast until he reached Veracruz where he founded the first Spanish settlement.  It was here that Cortes learned of the powerful Aztecs and about the many enemies they had among the prehispanic groups that had been conquered by them.  Cortes had very few men with him so he knew he could not defeat the powerful Aztec empire alone.  He decides to make alliances with the Tlaxcaltecans and begins his march towards Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital.  When the Spanish finally arrive, Moctezuma welcomes them (though it's not true that he thought Cortes was the reincarnation of Quetzalcoatl, that is an incorrect interpretation).  Meanwhile a new fleet of Spanish ships arrived in Veracruz and made their way to Tenochtitlan.  One of the men in this group was sick and began the massive smallpox epidemic that wiped out around half of the indigenous population.

regarding the law, the 15th amendment was specifically designed thinking in the rights of black free men.

even though ratified on february 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th amendment would not be fully applied for a long time.poll taxes and literacy tests would allow southern states disenfranchise african americans. only in 1965 the voting rights for african americans would be actually able to vote in the south.

in 1965, president johnson signed the voting rights act, which aimed to overcome legal barriers that prevented african americans from voting as it was guaranteed by the 15th amendment to the u.s. constitution.

the answer is that the political parties encourage people to caste vote.
