Module 5 Short Responses – Question 1 In the space below, specify which historical lens you'd like to use for this exercise. I intend to approach the research question on civil rights through a political and social perspective. Module 5 Short Responses – Question 2 Next, formulate a research question about the civil rights movement (historical time from 1954 – 1968), using the lens you've chosen. Was there an increase in violence in the segregated south after the implementation of Jim Crow laws, and did this lead to a greater number of individuals opposing integration? Module 5 Short Responses – Question 3 First, go back and review the research question you developed in Step 1. For Step 2, first name two different primary sources that you might use to answer that question. Be as specific as you can. Your primary sources should be found using the Shapiro Library. Klarman, M. J. (2007). Brown V. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Movement. Oxford: Oxford University Press.

Again, be as specific as you can. Your secondary sources should be found using the Shapiro Library. Litwack, L. F. (2013).

Retrieved from https://search-ebscohost-com.ezproxy.snhu.edu/login.aspx? direct=true&db=nlebk&AN=965054&site=ehost-live&scope=sit Module 5 Short Responses – Question 5 Construct a thesis statement that provides an answer to the research question you posed in Step 1. Base your response on the historical evidence that's been presented in this course so far, as well as any research you may have done on your own. The civil rights movement, characterized by the Jim Crow effect, portrays a tumultuous journey filled with hostility, brutality, and challenges. From Jim Crow to Martin Luther King, the path towards equality was paved through immense sacrifice and suffering. Module 5 Short Responses – Question 6 Name three specific historical events that can be considered contributory causes of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. Briefly explain why you believe each of these events contributed to the passage of the Act. The voting laws could not be altered until they received approval from the justice department, thanks to the inclusion of pre-clearance provisions. Wesberry vs. Sanders (1964) reduced gerrymandering. The justice department was able to exert more control over its efforts due to the limited scope and smaller area. Module 5 Short Responses – Question 7 Based on what you read about the passage of the Voting Rights Act on Page 1 of this learning block, name one event that was part of the course of this bill's passage by Congress. Enforcement acts of 1870 and 1871 that went against the Ku Klux Klan. Module 5 Short Responses – Question 8
