History

Answer:

The Mexican American War was heavily influenced by the debate on slavery in the United States of America. Ulysses S. Grant, future top military commander of Union Army and president, said that the Civil War was a God´s punishment  for the Mexican American War, a "wicked war" motivated by imperialism and expansion of slavery, in his words. The war was supported by many Americans who saw in it the fulfillment of the Manifest Destiny, the promise that the USA would extent from sea to sea as an expression of the divine will. In the 1840s, in the antebellum years, the debate was focused on whether the new territories should be slavery-free or admit slavery. The opposing positions created another legislative crisis. Under the Compromise of 1850, California was admitted as a free state, but it didn´t decide the status of other new states. Kansas and Nebraska were also political battlefields between pro-slavery and anti-slavery activists.

Which of the following is the best reason for why the civil war did not completely end racial segregation in america?
skelet666 [1.2K]

The correct answer is  C) Racial attitudes and policies had been a part of American life for a long time and were not going to change easily.

Before slavery was made illegal thanks to the 13th amendment, there was a long history of racial segregation and racial superiority in America. From the first slaves (brought over during the early 1600's) to the end of the Civil War, many Americans were taught that African-Americans were inferior. Thanks to the Supreme Court case Dred Scott vs. Sandford, enslaved Africans were even considered property at one point in American history.

This long history of painting African-Americans as inferior was not going to change overnight. Rather, many southererns kept these types of views and passed them on from generation to generation.
