Thank you We sneak And here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by party shifts when everyone moves to

00:08

the other side of the room Our which of the

00:10

following was most responsible for the shift in african american

00:14

voters Party identification from largely republican the largely democratic And

00:19

here the potential answers Throughout american history various social groups

00:27

have decided they were so over their political parties and

00:31

the resulting shift in the political landscape often caused rumbles

00:34

for generations to come Will did african american voters switch

00:38

from the republicans to the democrats because of republican reconstruction

00:42

policies following the civil war the republican party help pass

00:46

several reconstruction acts some of which four southern states to

00:49

restructure their governments and ratified the fourteenth amendment The's reconstruction

00:54

policies played a major role in wooing new african american

00:58

voters to the party of lincoln so we can absolutely

01:02

knockout eh What african american voters have shifted to the

01:05

democratic party because of bea the failure of reconstruction Well

01:09

many of the aforementioned reconstruction efforts especially those designed to

01:12

allow african american's access to the polls ended up failing

01:16

because of the democratic party's objections to structural societal change

01:21

so that certainly wouldn't have set off a stampede to

01:23

join those party poopers Good african american party identification have

01:27

swapped because of de republicans southern strategy well in the

01:31

late nineteen sixties republicans decided to shake up the electoral

01:34

map turning southern states that traditionally went for the democrats

01:38

from baby blue too Rosy red and while that's certainly

01:41

sped along the african american transition they were already well

01:44

on their party hopping way by that time But what

01:47

about e the democrats nomination of barack obama Well by

01:51

two thousand eight democrats firmly held the support of most

01:53

african american voters so we're late to the party on

01:57

this one like way way late which means that the

02:00

event most responsible for the shift in african american voters

02:03

party identification was see the civil rights and voting rights

02:07

acts No African americans started to switch their party allegiance

02:11

during fdr is new deal The civil rights and voting

02:14

rights act passed under lbj solidified the ship The option

02:17

b is the correct answer And remember that southern strategy

02:20

we mentioned earlier Well that was actually designed to win

02:23

over southern whites once the democrats started identifying with the

02:26

civil rights movement is just too bad These party animals 00:02:29.673 --> [endTime] can't find a way to get along great
