regions singled out?

These two regions were singled out because many Americans held the perception that individuals from southern and eastern Europe could not be assimilated properly into the culture of the United States. Their languages, customs, and religions were thought to be too different from those of preceding generations of immigrants for full scale integration into American culture. The fear was that these newer immigrants would always be "hyphenates,” or citizens who would call themselves, or be called by others, by such hyphenated names as "Polish-Americans,” "Greek-Americans,” and "Italian-Americans.”

Beyond the fear of being swamped by unassimilable immigrants from eastern and southern Europe was the fear that these immigrants’ increasing numbers would depress wages for American workers. In addition, some people feared the potential of the rising political power of the new class of immigrants.

As a result of french and indian war
Fofino [41]

The British victory in the French and Indian War had a great impact on the British Empire. Firstly, it meant a great expansion of British territorial claims in the New World. But the cost of the war had greatly enlarged Britain's debt. Moreover, the war generated substantial resentment towards the colonists among English leaders, who were not satisfied with the financial and military help they had received from the colonists during the war. All these factors combined to persuade many English leaders that the colonies needed a major reorganization and that the central authority should be in London. The English leaders set in motion plans to give London more control over the government of the colonies and these plans were eventually a big part of the colonial resentment towards British imperial policies that led to the American Revolution.

Answer:

The successes of the civil rights movement of the 1950s largely left out segregation in the southern states.

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s was a process by which African Americans began to demand and mobilize for greater recognition of their civil and political rights, especially in the southern states of the country, where they had been limited from the end of Reconstruction.

Through nonviolent protest methods such as marches or sit-ins, African Americans began to fight for a government recognition of their rights, which were finally enshrined in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which gave African Americans have legal equality against whites throughout the United States.
