Answer 1

The rise of the Black Panthers was a response to violence against African Americans by the KKK, opposition to public desegregation, and a refusal to register to vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rise of the Black Panthers was a response to violence against African Americans by the KKK, as well as opposition to public desegregation and a refusal to register to vote. The Black Panthers believed that African Americans were victims of both capitalism and white racism, and they advocated for jobs, housing, education, protection from police brutality, and exemption from military service. They also engaged in militant acts, such as patrolling African American neighborhoods and sometimes resorting to violence against those who disagreed with their cause.
