Yes! African Americans were technically allowed to vote in the 1960's due to the 15th amendment, which was created in 1870. However, African Americans still faced a lot of discrimination in the 60's for voting; In 1965, Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act which was aimed to overcome any barriers that African Americans still faced. After the act was enacted, <span>voter turnout among blacks increased from 6 percent in 1964 to 59 percent in 1969.  I know you said a simple yes or no but this is just for anyone who needs a more thorough answer! Hope this helps!  </span>

Who did the populist of the late 1800s seem to line up with more
vodomira [7]
The populists of the 1800s aligned with ideas that were presented by Jefferson more than those of Hamilton. That's because these ideas were democratic and perceived as those that will protect people from big businesses and wealthy people more.
