Tresset [83]3 years ago

<span>African-Americans helped the Republican party in the South by voting for Republicans in local, state, and national elections during the era of Reconstruction. The era of Reconstruction, which took place right after the Civil War, resulted in African-American men gaining the ability to vote. They used this power to support Republicans, as Lincoln and many other Republicans advocated for more legal rights for African-Americans. Besides voting rights, most Republicans supported the 14th amendment. This amendment helped to grant citizenship to all former slaves who were born on US soil. </span>

Which was the more effective civil rights strategy, civic action or government legislation?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

One is determined by the other. Civic action, from the 50's through the 60's, which was often meant with acts of extreme violence, led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. So they are linked and one is dependent on the other.

Given that it is very difficult to isolate any one as being more or less effective than another. Civil rights action was targeted to be as effective as possible economically and politically. Leaders such as Martin Luther King emphasized the need for peaceful means of protest. So pressure group activity such as marches, demonstrations and lobbying politicians was combined with economic boycotts which hit the white economy in the south.

The greater the media coverage and outrage at the continued abuse of civil rights then the greater the pressure on the federal government to pass appropriate legislation. So how successful ahs this legislation been?

The Civil Rights Act in 1964 was followed by the Voting Rights Act in 1965, outlawing discriminatory practices in voting which was still commonplace in the south.

Passing legislation is one thing but making it effective is another. Minority groups have had to continue to fight in the courts to overcome discrimination and harassment. In 2000 the Presidential election came down to a few voting wards in Florida. Those primarily African-American suffered disenfranchisement, Chad machines that didn't work and road blocks. This, in effect, put Bush Jnr in the White House.

compare and contrast why did the countries of South America fall to dictatorships and disorganization while the United States be
Delicious77 [7]

South American countries fell into dictatorships becuase they had the same conditions which supported dictators in Europe. Economic instability led to loss of faith in democractic institution. The military was more efficient than a legislature. However, one thing unique to Latin American states was the type of involvement by foreign governments, especially the United States, in their internal affairs. The US involvement in Latin American countries' internal affairs stemmed from the fear of increasing influence of Soviet Union during the Cold War.

The United States had a unique experience in that it had ample time and space to tackle the challenges it faced including a bloody civil war, expanding across the continent and giving equality to Blacks. There was no direct intervention by foriegn powers in American affairs. Moreover the founding father of United States had set up the tradition of a strong legislature. George Washington, the first American president, voluntarily gave up his military commission back to Congress after the Revolutionary War was over. He also left the Presidential office after two terms thereby creating a strong tradition.
