how do you think segregation made the united states look in the eyes of many in the larger world in the 1950s?

Eva8 [605]

Segregation in United states were legitimized under the doctrine separate but equal mentioned in the constitution. The constitution was actually misinterpreted and the supreme court gave a land mark verdict in the Brown Vs. Board of education case.

Explanation:

During 1950s Jim Crow laws made segregation legal. African Americans were treated badly during that time. The main effect of segregation was that people started to show hatred and disgust to one group of people who belonged to one particular race. Public utilities were segregated based on the ethnicity and race of the people. African Americans were given different rest rooms, cabs, public transports, schools, even the place of drinking water facility were segregated for the whites and blacks.

Separate but equal doctrine in the constitution aimed for equal protection of all but it carried a subtle component of inequality which was recognized by the supreme court and a landmark verdict was given in Brown Vs. Board of education case stating that segregation must be banned.

In what ways did world war 2 most directly affect consumers at home

ICE Princess25 [194]

Surprisingly, in many ways. However it mostly depends on which country.
I'll give you an overall answer that all countries had in common.
For the most part, there was food regulations and a lot of "support your military" propaganda.
Food was scarce, and the military needed donations.
This also goes as far as bedding, vehicles, and communication devises.

I hope this helps! :)
