He sent federal troops to protect Meredith and allow him to enroll.

In 1962, an African American man named James Meredith attempted to enroll at the all-white University of Mississippi. After the Kennedy administration brought out 31,000 National Guardsmen and other federal forces to execute the law, riots broke out on the Ole Miss campus, leaving two people dead, hundreds injured, and many others jailed.

Brown v. Board of Education, a landmark 1954 Supreme Court case, determined that racial segregation in educational and other institutions violated the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution, which guaranteed equal treatment of the law to all people within its authority.

This judgement substantially undermined the "separate but equal" rule established in 1896 by an earlier court case, Plessy v. Ferguson, which determined that equal protection was not breached as long as both groups were treated with reasonably equal conditions.

horsena [70]

Based on the historical account, the person that received the right to land grants in Texas as a result of the State Colonization Law of 1825 is Stephen F. Austin.

  • He is also known to have taken about 300 families to settle in Texas.

Explain how the British restricted settlements and expansion west of the Appalachians
Leno4ka [110]

They introduced the Proclamation of 1763.

Explanation:

  • Before the French and Indian wars, the French controlled the fur trade from their bases in Canada. French merchants traded with the Native Americans in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, even as far as the Missouri River. The French did not settle in these areas but focused on establishing trading posts.
  • After the French and Indian wars, the British took over the fur trade from the French. Native American tribes were threatened by the western movement of the American colonists. The Ohio Valley Indians fought the French during the French and Indian Wars to block the colonists' Western movements.
  • The Western colonist movement angered the tribes of the Ohio Valley. The settlers threatened to disrupt and destroy the lucrative fur trade now benefiting England, helping to repay debts incurred during the French and Indian wars. The western settlement had to be stopped in order to preserve peace and the fur trade with the Indians.
  • The proclamation of 1763 made it illegal for any settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
xeze [42]

Answer:

The rhetoric technique that Martin Luther King uses repeatedly in the above text is the use of similes and the use of figurative language.

Explanation:

Similes are speech techniques that use the comparison of two variables interestingly.

Figurative language is the use of a word to mean differently to its custom meaning.

<em>Martin Luther King uses Socrates and Jesus figuratively to explain his ideas, since, they are not part of his topic, but have similar traits as the situation he is trying to explain, this is an example of figurative language in the above excerpt.</em>

Martin Luther in this excerpt uses similes multiple times to bring out his points.

Some of the instances where he uses similes are;

  1. Isn't this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical  inquiries
  2. Isn't this  like condemning Jesus because his unique God consciousness and never ceasing devotion to God's will  precipitated the evil act of crucifixion?

This questions help him explain his point, it also makes the people understand his point out of the comparison of what they know to what they do not know.
