The first one that comes to mind is the Woolworth's Lunch Counter sit in in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1960. 4 African American gentlemen walked in and sat down and politely asked for service. They were rudely refused and told to leave. At that point they chose to remain seated. Despite having numerous insults hurled at them, they never fought back nor did they return the hate-filled speech. There are numerous other attempts during the 1950s, where African American men and women attempted to start a change at Soda Fountains around the country.
Jackie Robinson's career is another example of nonviolent protest. He was extremely talented, but one of the main reasons that was cited, as to why he was chosen, was for his ability to control himself. Despite the death threats off the field and the dirty tricks and plays on the field, Robinson never "lost his cool." He gained fans as they watched what he endured on the field.
Because nobody cared until then... (the more you delete this the more ill post it moderators...)
<span>Thomas Jefferson had support throughout the entire Western frontier and that assured his victory over John Adams in the presidential election 1800.</span>
Because times were booming. The 1920s was an age of prosperity, happiness and good business.
97.56% or 97.6% when rounded to the nearest tenth. I hope this helps
