Question

Match the person to the correct description (1 point)
Ellis Arnall
White primary
Eugene Talmadge
Herman Talmadge
Melvin Thompson

Answer 1

I don’t have the descriptions you want me to match to each name. Could you paste the list of descriptions (the other column) so I can match them?

If you meant to ask for a short identifying description for each name, here are concise matches you can use:

- Ellis Arnall — Georgia governor (1943–1947) who reformed state government: ended the poll tax, lowered the voting age to 18, restored the University of Georgia’s accreditation, and accepted the Supreme Court ruling ending the white primary.
- Eugene Talmadge — Four-term, conservative/segregationist Georgia politician who opposed civil-rights reforms and supported white-primary restrictions; his death after winning the 1946 election triggered the Three Governors controversy.
- Herman Talmadge — Eugene’s son; became governor after the Three Governors controversy (and later U.S. senator); a staunch segregationist and defender of Jim Crow.
- Melvin Thompson — Lieutenant governor who claimed the governorship in the Three Governors controversy and served as acting governor until a special election resolved the dispute.
- White primary — The practice (used in the Jim Crow South) of restricting primary elections to white voters; declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court (Smith v. Allwright, 1944).

If you provide the specific descriptions you need matched, I’ll pair them exactly.
