Sources A and B are about the experience of immigrants in the USA in the 1920s.
Source A
Italians didn't want to buy land. Few planned to stay in America for long, but wanted to return to
Italy some day. They headed for the great cities where there was a far better prospect of finding
employment. Italian Americans succeeded in jobs requiring little formal education, such as small
business ownership. However, like other immigrants, they found other ways of making a living.
Politics and sports were ladders for upward mobility.
Source B
My family lived in the city of Chicago. When I was 14 years old I started dodging school and so didn't
get much formal education. Around this time I turned to stealing. Then we joined an older gang
because although they were only around 20 years old they were in the big money and drove around
in fancy automobiles. My father came from Monfalcone in Italy and always hoped to return ther

Describe how the Jim Crow laws affected black Americans. 4. ✔Correct answer-The Jim Crow laws
affected black Americans in many ways. Firstly, the Jim Crow laws enforced segregation between
black and white people. Secondly, the Jim Crow laws meant that separate schooling between white
and black people was enforced. Thirdly, the Jim Crow laws made black Americans feel inferior and
publicly humiliated them. Lastly, in some states the Jim Crow laws made relationships/marriage
between races illegal.
Explain the reasons why there was a growth in the civil rights movement between 1945 and 1968. 6.
✔Correct answer-There are many reasons as to why there was a growth in the civil rights movement
between 1945 and 1968. Firstly, there was a growth in the civil rights movement between 1945 and
1968 because the success of Philip Randolph and the 'Double V' campaign encouraged greater
demands for civil rights. Secondly, there was a growth in the civil rights movement between 1945
and 1968 because NAACP and other organisations effectively highlighted discrimination faced by
black Americans and gained support of both black and white Americans in support of civil rights.
Thirdly, there was a growth in the civil rights movement between 1945 and 1968 because black
people in the South living under a system of segregation were subjected to violent persecution, such
as lynching, and demanded reform. Fourthly, there was a growth in the civil rights movement
between 1945 and 1968 because there was concern at other inequalities faced by black Americans.
For example low wages, poor housing and growing demands for improvements. Another reason why
there was a growth in the civil rights movement between 1945 and 1968 was because of the success
of non-violent protests. For example, Montgomery Bus Boycott and Birmingham march encouraged
others to become involved. Lastly, there was a growth in the civil rights movement between 1945
and 1968 because media coverage especially television heightened awareness and motivated many
to support the campaign.
