- Bell Work-1.) Can you explain based to the primary source excerpt how the author believed Blacks [African Americans] would attempt to justify their right to gain full suffrage? 2.) Based on historical context and your prior knowledge can you identify another historical instance in which African Americans had to fight against unfair obstacles simply to enjoy the right to vote? 3.) What do you believe might have happened if the United States had granted Blacks [African American’s] the right to vote following the arguments made by the Liberty Party in 1840? Do you think as a result of suffrage being extended to African Americans at this time that the Civil War could have been avoided or was this just a fight we were destined to have?
