In looking at the map, one can see a great increase in african americans registered to vote from 1960 to 1968. all of the states shown had much lower rates in 1960. why do you think alabama and mississippi had the lowest rates in 1960?

geography of the states made it hard for african americans to vote

the african americans in those states had less interest in doing extra activities

less african americans knew how to drive and could not get to voting establishments

there were more racially motivated obstacles in alabama and mississippi that prevented african americans from voting
