Why did voting rights become a central issue in the Civil Rights Movement?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Because blacks weren't allowed to vote. The right to vote was pretty much a spark for the rest of the demands that Blacks wanted from their government. They only wanted to be seen as equal with the Whites.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Many African Americans who attempted to vote were also threatened physically or feared losing their jobs.

Explanation:

When Reconstruction ended in 1877, states across the South implemented new laws to restrict the voting rights of African Americans. These included onerous requirements of owning property, paying poll taxes, and passing literacy or civics exams. Many African Americans who attempted to vote were also threatened physically or feared losing their jobs. One of the major goals of the Civil Rights Movement was to register voters across the South in order for African Americans to gain political power. Most of the interviewees in the Civil Rights History Project were involved in voter registration drives, driving voters to the polls, teaching literacy classes for the purposes of voter registration, or encouraging local African Americans to run as candidates.

What impact did World War II have on Americans at home? Describe at least two ways Americans' lives were impacted directly.

Answers

Answer:

Among morale-boosting activities that also benefited combat efforts, the home front engaged in a variety of scrap drives for materials crucial to the war effort such as metal, rubber, and rags. Such drives helped strengthen civilian morale and support for the war effort.

Providing supplies to American and Allied troops fighting the war in Europe, Africa, and the Pacific required the efforts of all Americans. At home, citizens contributed to the war effort by rationing consumer goods, recycling materials, purchasing war bonds, and working in war industries. :)

It impacted American troops in one key aspect during WWII: The over-arching emphasis was economic. After the Great Depression that began in 1930, low, middle, and upper income workers in the U.S. were collectively feeling the financial burden of record high unemployment coupled with high inflation. Faced with the prospect of high paying wages, soldiers and sailors flocked to the military in record numbers, even before formal hostilities were sought overseas until December 7, 1941 with the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan. Hope that helps!

Why did Britain change its strategy to focus on the Southern colonies in the summer of 1778?

Answers

As a result, the British changed their strategy yet again in 1778. Rather than mounting a full-scale military campaign against the Continental Army, the British decided to focus their efforts on the loyalists, who they still believed were the majority of the American population.

Answer:

The French allied with the colonials, and the British believe they had supporters in the south.

Explanation:

The French signed a treaty with the colonials in 1778 which forced the British to rethink their tactics.  They were now having to fight both the newly formed Americans and the French.  The British falsely believed they had more colonial supporters in the south, so began to focus their efforts there in attempt to subvert the French involvement.  This lead to the colonials fighting the British in the south with guerrilla warfare tactics instead of proper field combat, as the British were use to.  For America, the French helped a ton when they joined the war (Thanks Benjamin Franklin).

PLEASE HELP! ASAP! Compare and contrast the US democracy and German totalitarian dictatorship in the aftermath of World War I. Explain in 2-3 sentences examples of how the countries were different in reaction and continuation of war efforts, as well as everyday life.

Answers

Answer:

America sought, at the end of the First World War, to create new international relationships that would make such wars impossible in the future. But as the Great Depression hit Europe, several new leaders rose to power under the new political ideologies of Fascism and Nazism. Mussolini in Italy and Hitler in Germany were both proponents of Fascism, using dictatorial rule to achieve national unity. Still, the United States remained focused on the economic challenges of its own Great Depression. Hence, there was little interest in getting involved in Europe’s problems or even the China-Japan conflict.

It soon became clear, however, that Germany and Italy’s alliance was putting democratic countries at risk. Roosevelt first sought to support Great Britain and China by providing economic support without intervening directly. However, when Japan, an ally of Germany and Italy, attacked Pearl Harbor, catching the military base unaware and claiming thousands of lives, America’s feelings toward war shifted, and the country was quickly pulled into the global conflict.

American culture
B. The tendency of new immigrants to use their knowledge of
American culture to start new businesses
C. The tendency of new immigrants to work in low-paying factory
jobs and live in tenements
O D. The tendency of new immigrants to stay in ethnic neighborhoods
and retain their cultural identity

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Supporters of the Americanization movement opposed the tendency of new immigrants to stay in ethnic neighborhoods  and retain their cultural identity.

Explanation:

During the first part of the 20th century, large waves of immigrants came to the United States from different regions of the planet, mainly Irish, Italians, Germans, Norwegians, Poles, Asians, and Mexicans. These immigrants, in their great majority, did not manage the English language and therefore they could not immediately insert themselves into society (except the Irish). This led to the creation of ethnic neighborhoods in the different cities of the country, such as Little Italy in New York, where these immigrants settled and recreated their cultural and social spaces, maintaining their language and customs.

This was frowned upon by nativists, who believed that foreigners should make the effort necessary to rapidly assimilate into the prevailing Anglo-Saxon culture in the United States, even believing that the customs, traditions, and values of those foreigners endangered their own national idiosyncrasy .

Answers

Answer:

c)Mandela was seen as a dangerous threat to the American way of life

Explanation:

Nelson R. Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary political leader and philanthropist. He served as president of South Africa from 1994-1999. He was South Africa's first black head of state elected in a fully representative democratic election.

Answer:

C) Mandela was seen as a dangerous threat to the American way of life.

Explanation:

Although the African National Congress (ANC) used to practice only nonviolent actions, after the Sharpeville Massacre they shifted into violent activity, which made them be considered as a low-level guerrilla by Americans. In the context of the Cold War, U.S. foreign policy established that any insurgent organization in a capitalist country was an enemy, making Mandela and the ANC to be seen label as terrorists.

Furthermore, the Soviet Union funding the ANC was the last drop required for them to be considered as a threat to the fight against communism and, therefore, to the American way of life.
