The 26th Amendment (1971) Why was the 26th Amendment passed?- The Amendment was passed in order to lower the legal voting age from 21 to 18. Who did it affect?- The 26th Amendment affected young men who were at the age of 18. 18 was the age where men (more like boys) had to register for draft. So the boys claimed “Old enough to fight, old enough to vote” What is it?- The Amendment was made to accommodate to growing times, African Americans had been given the right to vote, women’s suffrage was long over, and now the 18-21 year old generation could also enjoy the right to vote.

Comparison: 50’s and 60’s The 50’s were considered a decade of prosperity, conformity, and consensus, whereas the 60’s were all about turbulence, protest, and disillusionment. The 50’s were considered a prosperous era for many reasons; the U.S. was coming out of a war, the creation of suburbs sent off a big launch of everyday life. African Americans migrated from the South to the North for better job opportunities. Rich and Middle Class families moved to the suburbs in order to escape the crime, redlining, and blockbusting of the cities. Families were seen in a certain way, there was a mother, a father two children, and a pet like a dog or cat. (Nuclear Families) All the houses in suburbs were built almost identically, everyone bought the same appliances, had the same yardscape, and basically left little room for individuality.

Comparison (continued) The 60’s were completely different from the 50’s lifestyle of conformity. The worsening conditions in the cities, feminism and Vietnam sent the 60’s social and political atmosphere to become turbulent and violent. Many riots and protests broke out, influential leaders such as Malcolm X actually encouraged violent and bloody protests. Women slowly and slowly became less accepting of their “home making” positions that they were given. Because of all the protests and riots happening, many people began looking at authority in a negative way. With the white population moving to suburbs more and more, the cities were left to toil and topple over. Many African Americans began to turn to leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X; no two men could have been more different. Mr. King suggested peaceful protests while Malcolm X supported the idea of bloody, violent protesting.
