Answer 1

Answer: Nixon and his subordinates were generally unsympathetic to civil rights causes and expected little political support from black voters. They attempted to reduce appropriations for enforcement of laws designed to promote the interests of blacks, such as fair housing and voter rights. The major issue that developed during his administration was the controversy over busing to achieve integration of the schools. Nixon tended to encourage the white backlash to affirmative action programs.
