In looking at the map, one can see a great increase in African Americans registered to vote from 1960 to 1968. All of the states shown had much lower rates in 1960. Why do you think Alabama and Mississippi had the lowest rates in 1960?


Geography of the states made it hard for African Americans to vote


The African Americans in those states had less interest in doing extra activities


Less African Americans knew how to drive and could not get to voting establishments


There were more racially motivated obstacles in Alabama and Mississippi that prevented African Americans from voting

The answer is D. There were more racially motivated obstacles in Alabama and Mississippi that prevented African Americans from voting.

Alabama and Mississippi were two of the most difficult states for African Americans to gain support in because of the racism. These states were populated with whites that greatly encouraged and supported segregation.

Hope this helps! :)
