Answer 3

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 allowed African Americans to step forward and participate in the American political process.

When the country was founded, in most states, only white men with real property (land) or sufficient wealth for taxation were permitted to vote. After the Civil War, the Constitution was changed to make sure black men had the right to vote. For twelve years after the Civil War, soldiers of the Union Army helped make sure that Blacks would get to vote in the South. When the soldiers left, though, Whites in the South invented many ways to keep Blacks from voting. They succeeded for almost one hundred years.

Blacks were finally allowed to vote in 1965. This was over 100 years since the Civil War ended. John F. Kennedy wrote a Civil rights act in 1964 to help the blacks to vote.
