Describe how the 1965 Voting Rights Act brought hope to many African Americans, but also fell short of addressing the deeper feelings of racial discrimination.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The 1965 Voting Rights Act brought hope to many African Americans in that for the first time African Americans in the South could participate with no restrictions in the elections. No more literacy tests, no more special taxes, and any kind of restrictions. President Lyndon B. Johnson had clearly stated that black people had the same right to vote as white people: with no restrictions. The 1965 Voting Rights Act had been passed on August 6.

However, this legislation fell short of addressing the deeper feelings of racial discrimination because in reality southern people never ceased to mess with African Americans and many rulers in the south did not apply this legislation at the local level.

i believe it to be a democracy

the american civil war was not caused   by slavery but by economic factors.
