This book satiates the reader's harboring curiosity as to why the national government was culpably negligent in protecting the exercise of the franchise for black Americans until the 1965 Voting Rights Act. As Holloway explains, much of this problem stemmed from Southern Democrats operating in tandem with the power of private actors to circumvent the Fifteenth Amendment. This mutual-advantage partnership codified disfranchisement, safeguarded the interests of recalcitrant Southern states and localities, and defended local systems of privilege. In the pages of this timely study, Holloway lays bare the abject failure of the national government and critically evaluates how the Southern status quo stimulated chaos at the national level. Despite market paradigms, In Search of Federal Enforcement confronts this historical conundrum and offers keen observations about voting manipulations and electoral abuse by both incumbents and private actors--Page [4] of cover. 610 10 $a United States. $t Constitution. $n 15th Amendment. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n97009341 610 10 $a United States. $t Voting Rights Act of 1965. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n94051078 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Voting $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Voting $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 630 07 $a Constitution (United States) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356075 630 07 $a Voting Rights Act of 1965 (United States) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01363616 648 7 $a 1800 - 1999 $2 fast 650 7 $a African Americans $x Suffrage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799713 650 7 $a Voting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01169232 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210023622.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=47489478033A11E8972C924897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
