What was the one-drop rule? a. only people of the same race were allowed to marry. b. anyone with a white ancestor was considered white. c. anyone with a black ancestor was considered black. d. only people freed from slavery after the civil war were subject to black codes.

The correct answer is - C. Anyone with a black ancestor was considered black.

The one-drop rule was a rule based on racial segregation. According to this rule, any individual that had at least one ancestor that was of sub-Saharan ancestry, thus black (Negro by historical terms), was considered a black person. This rule was based on racial segregation, and the attempt to maintain purity in the bloodline of the white people, by deliberately putting the people with sub-Saharan ancestry aside from the white communities.

native american contribution: the patriots from britain learn how to hunt, fish, and introduce diversity within cultures.

african americans: indirectly introduced the idea of diversity to americans. africans coming to america because of slavery taught white americans that people come from different backgrounds and colors. it also built america's economic stability for a great period of time. 

women: make america what it is today. there are some societies that are in the world currently that do not give women the same right we give women here in the united states. because women have rights here in the united states, other countries' citizens strive to come to america, especially women, since they have equal rights in the united states. this is important because america is seen and desired by many in the world. 

children: children are our future. we learn from our elders and carry out things the same or differently learning from america's history. we continue tradition and change tradition if it is needed.
