why do african americans strongly support the democratic party?
o because african americans are fiscally conservative and as such align with the
democrats
o because democrats strongly supported the civil rights movement
o because the democratic party has been strongly opposed to expanding public
assistance programs
o because african americans strongly support the use of military force in foreign
affairs

Explanation:

The Democratic Party's strong support for the civil rights movement is a key historical factor. African Americans have long faced systemic racism and discrimination, and the civil rights movement aimed to secure equal rights and opportunities. The Democratic Party's alignment with this movement (e.g., through policies and stances that promoted racial equality during that era) led to African - American support.

• African Americans are not typically fiscally conservative in a way that aligns with the Democrats (who are often seen as more fiscally liberal in some aspects).
• The Democratic Party is generally not strongly opposed to expanding public assistance programs (which would be a stance more associated with some conservative groups).
• There is no widespread view that African Americans strongly support the use of military force in foreign affairs as a unifying reason for Democratic support.

Answer:

because Democrats strongly supported the civil rights movement
