What were the reasons of the Civil Rights Protests?
The Social liberties Development was a social and political development that expected to get legitimate and sacred freedoms for African Americans and other underestimated bunches in the US. A portion of the explanations for the social liberties fights were: Racial Isolation: Numerous public spaces, including schools, eateries, and transportation, were isolated by race, with African Americans being denied admittance to similar offices as white individuals. Segregation: African Americans confronted separation in work, lodging, and casting a ballot rights, among different regions. They were in many cases denied open doors for schooling, business, and progression dependent exclusively upon their race. Police Ruthlessness: African Americans were exposed to police severity and provocation, including inappropriate captures, beatings, and even killings, frequently with no legitimate repercussions for the officials in question. Casting a ballot Rights: African Americans were much of the time denied the option to cast a ballot or confronted huge boundaries to casting a ballot, for example, survey charges, proficiency tests, and terrorizing at the surveys. Monetary Imbalance: African Americans confronted critical financial disparity, with lower compensation, higher joblessness rates, and less open doors for monetary progression than their white partners. These and different variables prompted far reaching dissatisfaction and outrage among African Americans, who coordinated and partook in social liberties fights to request equivalent privileges, equity, and a finish to racial separation and isolation.

Who could vote after the fifteenth amendmant was passed?
Even though the 15th Amendment (ratified in 1870) dictated that the right to vote will not be denied on the basis of race, many African Americans still weren't able to vote for decades afterwards. Two practices commonly used to deny African Americans the right to vote were: the white primary, and the poll tax. Political parties in the south would often deny African Americans the right to participate in primary elections, thus African Americans were essentially denied a voice in the subsequent general election. Also, an African American that desired to vote would often be forced to pay a poll tax before they were able to cast a ballot. Congress outlawed poll taxes in the 24th Amendment, and in 1965 passed the Voting Rights Act. The Voting Rights Act was well executed and enforced and was able to register many African Americans for voting.

Which Party will you vote for?
While many Americans will vote only by political party many more will pick and choose on their ballots. Many states have what is called "the long ballot." In those states many officials are elected and there are many choices on the ballot. Some people in those states will vote only the party and some people will 'split their ballot' voting for the person and not the party. I live in Texas where we have a long ballot. If I can find a Republican on the ballot who is not an ignoramus I will vote for them.
