Why was it so difficult to end segregation
dimulka [17.4K]
There are many variable as to why it was so difficult for segregation to stop, but one of the reasons was that it was hard to actually stop segregation. Although there was laws created to stop segregation, in many areas people still practiced segregation without being apprehended by the law. It took lots of law enforcement to travel around the country to prevent this from happening. It took a long time to end segregation between races.

Describe how the Korean conflict in the Vietnam conflict were symptoms of the cold war. How do we get involved in the Vietnam co
GrogVix [38]
I'm not entirely certain, but I believe the Vietnam conflict was a symptom of the cold because of the still-firm belief that the United States held that <span>communism was threatening to expand throughout South-East Asia. In turn, Russia handed China weaponry as support, who then armed the Northern Vietnamese whom had gone to war with the North Americans. The United States got involved mainly due to that belief, as well as backing South Vietnam, who highly disagreed with the communism of North Vietnam, China and Russia.</span>
