Answer 1

False. The Southern Strategy, as depicted in the documentary 13th, was a political tactic utilized by the Republican Party to appeal to white voters in the southern states. It involved using issues such as crime, drugs, and law and order to gain support, but it did not specifically aim to discriminate against African Americans by making people believe they caused more crime.
