Answer 2

Though 'African Americans' had 'primarily voted Republican', in '1936 most African Americans' voted for the 'Democratic candidate', 'Franklin Delano Roosevelt'. The statement is True

EXPLANATION:

• 'African Americans' voted for the Democratic Party, in particular, for 'president Franklin D. Roosevelt', overwhelmingly in the 1936 presidential election. At the time of its vote however, the Democrats hadn't necessarily been viewed as voting in favor of Roosevelt and of the New Deal policies. In a political change that came about during the formation of the "Roosevelt Coalition," the turn of African-American voters away from the Republican Party.
• That change transformed the Democrats in the next several decades into the majority party. The adjustment to the Democratic Party of Black voters in the Republican Party which began in the late 1920s grew during this era. This process meant a "push and pull": the Republicans ' refusal to pursue the rights of citizens alienated a large number of black voters, while northern Democrats ' efforts to open opportunities for African Americans gave black electors reasons to switch political parties.
