How would you rate the policy of containment on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being
FANTASTIC and 1 being HORRIBLE?

3, it didn't exactly work.

Explanation:

The idea of containment was brought on by George Kennan's Long Telegram sent from the US embassy in the Soviet Union (modern day Russia) back to the US. He warned that the Soviet Union and their ideas of communism needed to be stopped so he came up with the idea of containment. The U.S. implemented this policy pretty well as they fought the Korean War to stop North Korea from invading South Korea and making Korea a communist country. They didn't lessen the spread of communism in this sitation, they simply contained it. However, while so called Cold War lasted for multiple decades, the ideas of Communism did not spread much further than they started before this policy was put into place.

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.
