Answer:

Martin Luther King Jr

Explanation:

Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister and a leader of the American civil-rights movement. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for employing nonviolent civil disobedience to advance racial equality.

The civil rights movement used methods from all three classes, but those most commonly included were “nonviolent direct action”—a synonym for nonviolent struggle or nonviolent resistance, which generally referred to protest and persuasion methods to gain blacks access to segregated public facilities—and voter

A major factor in the success of the movement was the strategy of protesting for equal rights without using violence. ... Led by King, millions of blacks took to the streets for peaceful protests as well as acts of civil disobedience and economic boycotts in what some leaders describe as America's second civil war.

Why can Fascists can gain power? Select all that apply.
frozen [14]
Fascists represent an authoritarian and extremely far right wing form of highly nationalistic government, so they would gain power in times of social conflict that would leave people feeling threatened. This would be in: 1.), 2.), & 5.)
I don't think 3.) would apply as this was a huge issue in the Soviet Union, and yet the fascist government remained in power for decades. I also do not think 4.) would apply as growing minority power would limit the power of the potentially fascist "majority."

Interpret Why do you think that party loyalties were so evenly divided after the end of the Civil War?
chubhunter [2.5K]

They were all afraid of irritating people (who vote). Since people (who vote) decided their unavoidable future, they didn't want to take any strong stances on anything and just went with the flow and played the tune that the people wanted to hear. They needed to stay in power and not lose it for taking a serious stance.........

How did Europeans justify the enslavement of black men, women, and children?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Slavery is not an institution that developed itself. Many people used the Bible as their justification of slavery. In the book of Genesis, chapter 9, Noah's youngest son Ham saw the nakedness of his father and had him covered, by his brothers. Noah then cursed Ham to be a servant to his brothers forever, Genesis 9:25-26 "Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers". This is known to be the first act of slavery; which people argue is sanctioned by God. Many interpret Ham's curse as placed upon people of darker skin color, Africans more specifically. The argument is that since Ham's descendants were to be slaves forever and Africans were already slaves and inferior then they should remain in slavery.
