Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Describe the policy of unilateralism as a belief that the United States should use its military and diplomatic power to pursue American national interests in the world, and do so on a go it alone basis, if necessary.
2, Discuss how President George W. Bush invaded Iraq even though many other countries, including U.S. allies, disapproved, and how he also renounced several international treaties.
3, Reveal how these and other unilateral actions such as the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib in Iraq and at Guantanamo caused anti-American sentiments not only in the Muslim world, but also in Western Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Russia.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Describe the techniques used, including the poll tax, which many African Americans could not afford; the literacy test, in which the local officials who determined the results rarely passed blacks but allowed whites who failed the test to vote under the grandfather clause; and the white primaries, which excluded African Americans from the nomination process.
2, Identify forms of intimidation through terror, including night riding, bombings, and lynchings.
3, Note that terror as a means of preventing voting remained a factor until the 1960s, when the civil rights movement and federal intervention finally ended it.
