+"[Circle the wagons] is rooted in stories about "brave pioneers" who were "under attack" by "hostile savages." Hit the pause button.

I've also read that, if there was an attack, the wagons were too far apart and slow moving to have actually been put into that circle."[1](https://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/p/all-you-do-is-complain.html)

-In the United States, ‘Grandfather Clause’ originally referred to provisions adopted by seven Southern states after the Civil War in an effort to disenfranchise African-American voters by requiring voters to pass literacy tests or meet other significant qualifications, while exempting from such requirements those who were descendants of men who were eligible to vote before 1867. This type of law ensured that illiterate whites were able to vote while restricting Black Americans from voting. This practice of grandfather clauses did not officially end until 1965, when the Voting Rights Act was implemented.
