The gap between the percentage of whites registering to vote and the percentage of African Americans registering to vote declined after the passage of Voting Rights.
Did Voting Rights Act of 1965 reduce registration gap?The Voting Rights Act of 1965 had impact on voter registration in southern states most particularly in addressing the disparity between white and African American voters.
Prior to the passage of the act, discriminatory practices such as literacy tests, poll taxes and other voter suppression tactics were widespread and affected African Americans and other minority groups.
The Voting Rights Act aimed to eliminate these barriers to voting and enforce equal access to the ballot box. It provided federal oversight and enforcement mechanisms to ensure that states with a history of voter discrimination particularly in the South did not engage in discriminatory practices.

What was the History of Abraham Lincoln
Answer:
Abraham Lincoln was a member of the Whig Party and later a Republican. He believed that the government's job was to do what a community of people could not do for themselves. One of his greatest preoccupations as a political thinker was the issue of self-governance and the promise and problems that could arise from it. The choice by some to allow the expansion of slavery was one such problem and was central to the American Civil War. Although opposed to slavery from the outset of his political career, Lincoln would not make its abolition a mainstay of his policy until several years into the war.
Explanation:
Answer: Abraham Lincoln a self-taught lawyer, legislator and vocal opponent of slavery, was elected 16th president of the United States in November 1860, shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War. Lincoln proved to be a shrewd military strategist and a savvy leader: His Emancipation Proclamation paved the way for slavery’s abolition, while his Gettysburg Address stands as one of the most famous pieces of oratory in American history. In April 1865, with the Union on the brink of victory, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth. Lincoln’s assassination made him a martyr to the cause of liberty, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history.

How were opponents of Hiram Rhodes Revels trying to use the Fourteenth Amendment to
contest his election?
Answer:
United States Senate in 187o and argue that Dred Scott had ever been
authoritative. "I never expected to hear read in the Senate of the
United States, or in any court of justice where authority was looked
for, the Dred Scott decision," said Senator James Nye of Nevada.40
Senator Jacob Howard of Michigan was less civil. He pronounced himself "nauseated," disdaining entirely the thought of going "into that
recondite inquiry as to the political status of a black man under the
Dred Scott decision."41 Not to be outdone, Senator Charles Sumner of
Massachusetts declared that Dred Scott had been "[b]orn a putrid
corpse," and described it as "a stench in the nostrils ... to be remembered only as a warning and a shame. '42
In a mirror image of the Democratic belief that the Fourteenth
Amendment had not validly overruled Dred Scott, many Republicans believed that Dred Scott had no legal force even without the Fourteenth Amendment. One can distinguish two forms of that belief. The
first, which might follow from Senator Sumner's description of Dred
Scott as "born a putrid corpse," is that Dred Scott was so wrong as to
have been invalid ab initio. The other, which is more complex conceptually but yields the same result, is that events following Dred Scott - the election of President Lincoln, Southern secession, the Civil War,
emancipation, and perhaps the postwar constitutional amendments - amounted to a radical break with the past, one that made it senseless
to treat certain legal authorities from the old regime as if they had continuing meaning. On this view, the Republican position might not be
that Revels had been a citizen for nine chronological years before 1870,
or at least not in a sense that could be confirmed by asking whether a
court in i86i would have deemed him a citizen. Instead, the position would be that in 1870, it was impermissible to betray fundamental
principles of the new order by giving legal effect to the fact that other
principles - evil principles - had been applied at an earlier time.
Whatever people might have done in 1857 or i86i, this perspective
would hold, it would violate the norms of 187o to give continuing force
to Dred Scott.
Although not always clearly distinguishing between those two positions, several Republicans argued that the Civil War itself demonstrated Dred Scott's invalidity. "The comment made upon that great wrongful judicial decision is to be seen in the dreadful war through
which we have passed," said Senator Howard.43 Senator Frederick
Sawyer, a transplanted Bostonian representing South Carolina, spoke of the war as "the great court of errors" that had reversed the Taney

How did government institutions play a role in shaping Malcolm X's
identity because of his race?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
Government institutions played a role in shaping Malcolm X's identity because of his race because the government attacked and suppressed the black power movement, civil rights protests, segregation, and other actions that limited the expression of African Americans, and other minority groups such as Chicanos, Native Indians, or gay people.
Malcolm X became one of the most renowned and notorious members of the African American movement known as Black Nationalism. In an opposite direction to the non-violence approach of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X used violence and aggressions in his demonstrations under the argument of the right of self-defense against the aggressions of the police.
