question 11
what are the 1890s?

Explanation:

The 1890 Morrill Act required states to provide equal opportunities for African - Americans in land - grant colleges to receive federal funds. If states discriminated against students based on race, they would lose funding. This opened the door for African Americans in the South to attend land - grant colleges. Option B is incorrect as there is no such specific appropriation amount mentioned. Option C describes the original 1862 Morrill Act. Option D is not an accurate description of the 1890 Morrill Act.

Answer:

A. opened the door for African Americans in the South to attend land grant colleges, for the colleges to receive an appropriation from the federal government and for states to lose that funding if they discriminated against students on the basis of their race.
