Module 5 Short Response: Analyzing History Adam R. Choyce HIS-200 Applied History November 23, 2023 Question 1: In the space below, specify which historical lens you'd like to use for this exercise. Political Lens Question 2: Next, formulate a research question about the civil rights movement (historical time from 1954 – 1968), using the lens you've chosen. How did segregation laws implemented by states in the south, even after the Fifteenth Amendments, disenfranchise blacks? How did segregation laws implemented by states in
the south, even after the Fifteenth Amendments, disenfranchise blacks? How did segregation laws implemented by states in the south, even after the Fifteenth Amendments, disenfranchise blacks? 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. Two different primary sources that I might use to answer this question would be a letter from a civil rights leader and newspaper article/photographs from eyewitnesses. Question 4: Next, name two different secondary sources you could use to answer your research question. Again, be as specific as you can. Your secondary sources should be found using the Shapiro Library. Two different secondary sources that could be very helpful to answer my research question on the civil rights movements would be scholarly journals and popular periodicals that would highlight the events or the people's reaction to those events at the time. 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. Research Question: How did segregation laws implemented by states in the south, even after the Fifteenth Amendments, disenfranchise blacks? Thesis Statement: Even after the Fifteenth Amendments, laws such as Jim Crow, Black Codes and de jure segregation, were implemented by states in the South, to disenfranchise and discriminate against African-Americans by denying them access to schools, restaurants, and public transportation. 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.
Three specific historical events that can be considered as having a contribution to the passing of the Voting Rights Act are, 1) the letter written by Dr. Martin Luther King from behind bars; 2) the brutal assault on non-violent African-American protesters who were marching for their right to vote, and 3) President Johnson's speech to Congress to implore the members to stop blocking the Voting Rights bill. 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. The course of the passage of the Voting Rights Act by Congress consisted of civil rights supporters and opponents gaining an understanding of the importance of black American voting rights; the passing of the Fifteenth
