Answer:
During the 1960s, the federal government passed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, resulting in a reduction in discrimination based on race, as well as an increase in rates of political participation among <u>African Americans</u>. In 1993, the National Voter Registration Act allowed easier access to voter registration. As a consequence of this legislation, voter registration increased across populations and the registration gap narrowed between <u>White and minorities</u>.
The correct answers to these open questions are the following.
What did Lincoln identify as the primary cause of the Civil War?
United States President Abraham Lincoln identified that when he won the presidency, the southern states knew opposed his views on slavery and abolitionism. That increased the conflicts with southern states and secession was imminent. South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union.
What is his attitude towards the South and Reconstruction?
President Lincoln wanted an easy and quick Reconstruction process. He really desired the integration of the states and the union of the American people after so much pain and suffering due to the war.
What terms does he dictate for the South?
Very easy terms. Indeed, Lincoln gave leeway to the southern states to do their own reconstruction at their own pace. He created the 10-percent plan in which 10% of the citizens who could vote pledged allegiance to the Union, and that was it.

The correct answer is answer C ("There are no alternatives to the traditional prison system for drug offenders").
Back in the 1980s, less than 25.000 people in the United States were incarcerated for drug offenses. Since then, the number has sky-rocketed: currently sitting at nearly 300.000. This goes to show how ineffective the hardening of policies regarding drug-related arrests and convictions are at trying to stop the crisis. Drug abuse is not going to stop just because more people are going to prison, mass incarceration just generates more problems within the existent prison system.
Implementing alternative sentencing strategies would definitely be more efficient and less costly for the States until the drug problem is solved, which is an entirely different venture that isn't going to be helped by over-populating prisons all over the country.
Hope this was helpful to you!
