Answer 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • Once the war was over, African Americans were laid off from factory jobs in favor of returning white veterans.


  • Blacks were expected by others to retreat into deference.


  • Black veterans spearheaded the resistance to such expectations.


  • African American efforts to overcome discrimination met fierce, often violent, white opposition in 1946 and 1947.


  • The retreat of European colonialism and American competition with the Soviet Union nonetheless encouraged many white Americans to acknowledge racial discrimination.


  • A series of Supreme Court decisions chipped away at segregation and discrimination.


  • Popular culture moved in the same direction of breaking down racial barriers.



Answer 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • Truman campaigned for reelection in 1948 on a platform of support for civil rights that was unprecedented in the White House.


  • In the summer of 1948 he ordered the desegregation of the armed forces and the federal civil service.


  • Alienated by the civil rights plank, white Southerners walked out of the Democratic convention and ran South Carolina governor Strom Thurmond as an independent candidate.


  • African American voters in Chicago, Cleveland, and other northern cities played a key role in swing states.


  • African American votes proved the difference in the election.
