Answer 1

Answer:

The significant events that occurred in Georgia following WWII are;

• End to the Great Depression where industrial production for war activities created jobs
• The civil rights era 0f 1950s to 1960s
• The integration of Atalanta schools
• Sony Perdue becoming first republican Governor since reconstruction

Explanation:

The great depression ended when the United States entered the WW11 because the industrial production activities for the war created job s for people.Georgia economically benefited from this move because there was a training camp at Fort Benning. Bell Bomber, an aircraft company employed workers and a shipping corporation at the port of Savanna hired more workers.This shaped the state positively.

The Civil rights era in Georgia was experienced during the 1950s and 1960s.Jim Crow was described as a leader who advocated for segregation that undermined democracy.The Georgia segregation protest were conducted in attempts to eliminate the segregation that was happening in Public schools.

In 1954, a ruling was made by the Supreme Court of the United States of America in the case of Brown vs. Board of Education declared that the law of "separate but Equal" which was being practiced in Atlanta and southern states was unconstitutional. This ruling was significant because it eliminated the discrimination that was happening in public schools and paved a better way in the education system of Georgia.

The 21st century developments in Georgia were encouraged by the election of Sony Perdue into Governorship.Being a republican candidate, he was reelected in 2006 a sign that there was a reduced white supports for Democrats.In 2008, Barrack Obama, a republican candidate also made efforts to ask for support in Georgia especially from the black voters.After 2008, Georgia has experience increased economic growth especially in agriculture and manufacturing industries.
