Directions: Use this passage from a letter on conservation, written by President Theodore Roosevelt, and your knowledge of U.S.

history to answer questions 1 through 3.
In the East, the states are now painfully, and at great expense, endeavoring to undo the effects of their former short-sighted policy in throwing away their forest lands. Congress has before it bills to establish by purchase great forest reserves in the White mountains and the southern Appalachians, and the only argument against the bills is that of their great expense. New York and Pennsylvania are now, late in the day, endeavoring themselves to protect the forests which guard the headwaters
of their streams. Michigan and Wisconsin have already had their good timber stripped from their forests by the great lumber companies. But the western states, far more fortunate than their eastern sisters in this regard, can now reserve their forests for the good of all their citizens, without expense, if they choose to show the requisite foresight.
—President Theodore Roosevelt, in a private letter in 1907

<h3>Which are had not suffered from excessive lumbering in the early 1900s?</h3>

President Theodore Roosevelt spoke of how forests in the Western United States were still in good condition because they had not been destroyed by timber companies.

This meant that preserving these forests could be done at little expense as there is no need to replant them. This was the opposite of conditions in the East where timber companies had destroyed a lot of forests.

The long-term significance of Brown v. Board of Education is that it.
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

D. overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling accepting segregated facilities.

Explanation:

<u><em>What is the Brown v. Board of Education case about (1954)?</em></u>

The US Supreme Court decided that racial segregation in schools was unconstitutional (forbidden by the law), because it violated the 14th Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause it contains. Until then, children from racial minorities had to go to schools that were separate from the schools where white children went.

In this context, 13 parents from Topeka, Kansas, sued the Topeka Board of Education for their 20 children who were segregated in schools on racial grounds. The case went up to the Supreme Court and they won.

<u><em>What is the Plessy v. Ferguson case about (1896)?</em></u>

In this case with similar facts, the US Supreme Court had ruled that racial segregation in schools <u>that had equal facilities, accommodations and services was legal </u>(<em>"separate but equal"</em>), a decision which supported racist views and a defeat for the the Civil Rights Movement.

<u>However, Brown v. Board of Education overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling and it paved the way for ending racial segregation and justice for the racial minorities, especially in school. </u>
