Answer 1

I’m missing the source for these exact wording blanks, so here are the most likely correct fills with brief explanations. If you want the exact textbook phrasing, tell me the book/handout and I’ll match it.

- Poll Tax: many poor people — especially African Americans and Mexican Americans — were unable to participate in elections for state leaders.
(Short fill: “many African Americans and Mexican Americans” or “a large portion of minority and poor voters”)

- Democratic Primaries: lock out the African American and Mexican‑American voters.
(Short fill: “African American and Mexican‑American”)

- LULAC: Focus on Mexican‑American civil rights, especially education and voting rights (assimilation into mainstream political life).
(Short fill: “Mexican‑American civil rights/education and voting rights”)

- Women’s Movements in Texas:
- Industrialization (and growth of factory/clerical jobs, and WWI labor opportunities) gave women more opportunity to earn their own way.
(Short fill: “industrialization/WWI job opportunities”)
- New freedoms would make the push harder for suffrage (women’s right to vote).
(Short fill: “suffrage”)
