Question 35

american concerned with demographic shift migration from country to cities

Answer 35

In American history, demographic shifts—especially migration from rural areas to cities—have often sparked concerns about cultural, social, and economic impacts. For example, during the Great Migration (1916-1970), millions of African Americans moved from the rural South to urban centers in the North and West, seeking better economic opportunities and escaping racial discrimination. This shift significantly influenced cities, sparking both cultural flourishing and tensions as urban populations grew. Similarly, rural-to-urban migration post-World War II, driven by industrialization and the promise of jobs in metropolitan areas, reshaped American life. Some Americans worried that urbanization would erode traditional rural values, disrupt community bonds, and strain resources in rapidly growing cities. More recently, concerns have resurfaced around urbanization’s impact on housing markets, public services, and even rural communities themselves, which may experience economic downturns as populations decline.This demographic shift has shaped much of America’s cultural, economic, and political landscape and remains a point of discussion as urban areas continue to grow.

Question 36

issues occured in aftermath of preidential election 1876

Answer 36

The 1876 presidential election ended in a disputed outcome, with both Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden claiming victory. To resolve the conflict, Congress established a special Electoral Commission, which awarded the presidency to Hayes through the Compromise of 1877. In exchange, Hayes agreed to withdraw federal troops from the South, marking the end of Reconstruction. This allowed Southern Democrats to regain control, leading to the disenfranchisement of Black voters and the rise of Jim Crow laws enforcing segregation. The election exposed vulnerabilities in the electoral process and had lasting impacts on race relations, civil rights, and political partisanship in the U.S.

Question 39

how did the 15th amendment keep african Americans from voting

Answer 39

The 15th Amendment aimed to secure voting rights for African Americans by prohibiting racial discrimination in voting. However, Southern states implemented tactics to bypass the amendment and disenfranchise Black voters. These included poll taxes, literacy tests, grandfather clauses, intimidation by groups like the Ku Klux Klan, and “white primaries” that excluded Black voters. After federal protections were removed in 1877, these tactics made voting nearly impossible for many African Americans in the South. It wasn’t until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that these discriminatory practices were banned.
