History

Taft had the support of the northern Republican conservatives.

Context/details:

In the 1912 election, the Republican Party was divided. Its conservative wing supported President William Howard Taft for reelection. Theodore ("Teddy") Roosevelt, who had been President from 1901-1909, led the progressive wing of the Republicans. Ultimately, Roosevelt and his supporters objected to the nomination of Taft as the Republican candidate, and formed a 3rd party, the Progressive Party, with Roosevelt as their presidential candidate. This rift in the Republican Party would make it difficult for either Taft or Roosevelt to win the 1912 campaign.

In the end, Roosevelt won 27% of the popular vote; Taft received 23% of the popular vote. Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson got 42% of the popular vote and carried 40 states to win the Electoral College vote handily.

The general consensus is that Taft won this election due to the fact that he was able to bridge the gap between progressives and conservative republicans, while being harsh on corruption but still sympathetic to business.

I could add a fourth category that you could consider in your answer if you are allowed to do that.

Fourth: the leaders of the movement

In point of fact, all of them were effective. The Supreme court heard many cases on the right to vote and the right to be treated as though color were not a determining factor on voting rights. These cases helped bring about the Civil Rights act of 1964 and the Voting rights act of 1965. It put teeth into the 15th amendment, all of which you should look up.

Martin Luther King made a huge impact on Civil Rights. One of key ideas that he had was civil disobedience. Even that was strongly opposed by people like Governor George Wallace. That aside, civil disobedience was a method that peaceful people could tie into and participate in. Look up Rosa Parks as the primary example of someone very welling to stand her ground.

When you look up the Civil Rights act you will see that the Federal Government played a key role in making and enforcing key laws.

The people were ready to determine their rights as citizens. The time was right to unite the participants. Even students themselves were involved in "the people" many of whom were from many parts of the United States. You could google students civil rights movement. People your age were very influential.
