Which trail was popular from 1843 to 1870 and ran from independence, missouri, to the willamette river valley?

The trail that was popular from 1843 to 1870 and ran from Independence, Missouri, to the Willamette River Valley was the Oregon Trail.

The Oregon Trail was one of the main routes of migration by land of North America, that departed from several places in the Missouri river and arrived until the Territory of Oregon.

The five to six months of travel allowed to cross more than half of the continent and the caravans, departing from Missouri, crossed the lands of what later would be five states of the USA: Kansas (1861), Nebraska (1867), Wyoming (1890), Idaho (1890) and Oregon (1859). In addition, some of the branches of this route became the main arteries that fed settlers six other states: Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, Washington and Montana.

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.
