____________________________________________________

Answer:

Your answer would be B). The freedom riders forced the federal government to react.

____________________________________________________

The freedom riders considered their ride to Alabama a success because the freedom riders forced the federal government to react.

____________________________________________________

Definition:

Freedom Riders:

The Freedom Riders were a group of civil rights activists who rode on buses, specifically buses that go on the interstate, to protest about racial segregation. These freedom riders were against segregation

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why "B). The freedom riders forced the federal government to react" is the correct answer because the freedom riders goal was to get the attention of the federal government. To end racial segregation during their time, there would need to be a law that needs to pass in order to end it, and the only way the law could be passed is by the government. During the time of racial segregation, the government didn't really pay attention to the people and what was going on in the country. The Freedom Riders didn't like how the government was ignoring the problems in the country and wanted to do something immediately, so they rode buses going to segregated states to protest. They had to go through a lot of violence and hatred while riding on interstate buses, but they did this because they wanted to see a change. This was one of the things that sparked the civil rights movement, which got the attention of the government. Since they got the attention of the government, the government started to do something about segregation in the country.

____________________________________________________

Why the other answer choices are incorrect:

Answer choice "A). The freedom riders carried bombs on the buses" is incorrect because:

The freedom riders weren't the ones that were carrying bombs. There were other people that threw bombs at the bus, which ignited and caused the buses to shoot up in flames. This was something that they didn't consider a success to Alabama. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

Answer choice "C). The freedom riders attacked white protesters." is incorrect because:

The freedom riders actually had a non-violent approach when they were on the bus protesting. They felt that the need of violence was unnecessary. other people used violence against them when they threw bombs and smoke grenades at the buses, which caused an fire on the bus. They did not attack white protesters' there were white protesters that were apart of the freedom riders. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

Answer choice "D). The freedom riders’ arrival in Birmingham was peaceful" is incorrect because:

The arrival of the freedom riders at Birmingham, Alabama was very violent. There was no peace when they arrived in Birmingham, due to the fact that most people there supported segregation. Birmingham was a place in a state known for segregation, and people didn't like what the freedom riders were doing. This is not an success due to the fact that this statement is false. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

How did president Roosevelt end US isolationism and neutrality during the early years of WWII?
shtirl [24]
Roosevelt sent supplies, military equipment, and surplus to help aid the Allies (usually they wouldn't do this until they were part of the war). In doing this, it shows that the US doesn't wait until they get hit, instead they reach out (even though it was only economically, in the case of military, they still waited). Roosevelt also wasn't really the reason the US ended isolationism. It was more of Emperor Hirohito. He allowed his military generals to attack Hawaii for resources and to continue on their expansions of taking over all of the Pacific. Roosevelt only "convinced" (well, all of them were hopping mad already) Congress to declare war on Japan and Germany.
