Sit-in demonstrations are what got the attention of the country. These were actions taken where blacks would just sit at the counters demanding to be served. You can say they asserted their civil right to sit and eat at any establishment offering sit-down food service.

Is this true or false Black people were never allowed to or hold office in the South?

In the early years after the Civil War there were several State legislators who were black and formally speaking there was never any law in the Southern States that specifically forbade blacks to hold any public office. So in that sense, the answer should be 'false'.But there was another tactic in use in the South: raising the requirements (like specific levels of literacy, being born in the USA) for everyone who wanted to vote or hold office. These requirements applied to whites as well as to blacks, but the Southern States of course well knew that the requirement were much more difficult to meet for the majority of blacks than for the majority of whites. And of course in 'grading' the tests for literacy, it was hard for someone to prove that whites passed much more easily than blacks.

What civil rights tactic was most directly responsible for African American gaining equal access to the ballot box especially in southern states during the 20th century?

The most direct civil rights tactic responsible for African Americans gaining equal access to the ballot box in southern states during the 20th century was the use of grassroots voter registration drives, particularly in the 1960s. Organizations like the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) mobilized communities to challenge discriminatory practices such as literacy tests and poll taxes. Additionally, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibited racial discrimination in voting, was a pivotal legislative outcome of these efforts, dramatically increasing voter registration and participation among African Americans in the South.

Which northern tactic helped morale in the south after the defeats at gettyburg and Vicksburg?

After the defeats at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, the Northern tactic of engaging in total war, exemplified by General William Tecumseh Sherman's "March to the Sea," helped bolster Southern morale by unifying the civilian population against a common enemy. The destruction of infrastructure and resources by Union forces made the South feel the harsh realities of war, fostering a sense of resilience and determination to resist. This tactic, while demoralizing in the short term, paradoxically galvanized Southern sentiment and commitment to the Confederate cause.
