Answer:

White southerners sought to protect their privileged position by adopting the so-called "Jim Crow" laws.

Explanation:

The "Jim Crow" laws were a series of local and state laws that enforced racial segregation in all public facilities and spaces in the southern United States, from the end of the 19th century until they were ruled illegal by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They were named so after a song and dance called "Jump Jim Crow", which was performed in blackface by white minstrel Thomas Rickface during the mid 19th century. He became famous for his performance, and "Jim Crow" came to be used as a derogative term for African-Americans.

With the end of the Civil War (1861-1865), slavery was declared illegal and all former slaves gained their freedom and rights as citizens of the United States. White southerners were angry after the defeat of the Confederacy, and they felt threatened by African-Americans, who represented a sizable minority in the southern states. <u>White southerners sought to protect their privileged position by adopting the so-called "Jim Crow" laws</u>. These laws segregated public spaces by establishing separate facilities for African-Americans, and limited their civil rights, like voting.

You are a Group Supervisor working in a Branch within the Operations Section. Who is your immediate supervisor?
notka56 [123]
The most probable answer to this question would be A. Branch Director

Though it depends to the company as to how they set up their own organizational chart in the main branch and the other branches of their company, a group supervisor, when working in a branch, would be reporting to the branch director directly, and especially since the group supervisor is working within the operations section. If, for instance, all the options presented are present on the branch's organizational chart, the immediate supervisor of the group supervisor would be the branch director. Though there may be instances that the group supervisor will be reporting to the branch leader, branch executive officer, and/or branch chief, the immediate supervisor will not change.
