Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define the Nixon presidency as pro-civil rights because Nixon wanted to secure black voters.
2. Note that he opposed forced busing of white and black students to high schools as a way to placate southern whites.
3. Explain Nixon's southern strategy which entailed bringing enticing traditional white southern Democrats into the Republican Party by emphasizing the problems of civil rights legislation.
4. Point out that he symbolized the Republican Party attempt to destroy the New Deal coalition that had elected every Democrat to the presidency since FDR.
5. Conclude that Nixon was relatively atypical as a Republican president since U.S Grant for his attempt to meet the needs of black voters.
