Question

What was South Carolina’s role in helping achieve equal rights for African-American

Answer 1

The passage of two landmark federal laws, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965

Step-by-step explanation:

With the establishment of rice and indigo as commodity export crops, South Carolina became a slave society, with slavery central to its economy. By 1708, African slaves composed a majority of the population in the colony; the blacks composed the majority of the population in the state into the 20th century.

The passage of two landmark federal laws, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the enforcement of the one- person, one-vote rule in redistricting dramatically changed the face of the civil rights movement in South Carolina. ... These voters demanded more progressive leadership and politics.
