Answer:

1. Civil Rights movement had its start in the colonial days with the opposition to slavery.

2. Continued into the 1800's with the abolition movement and the Civil War.

3. Slavery ended after the Civil War and AA's enjoyed some rights for a time during the Reconstruction.

4. AA suffered setbacks after Reconstruction. Legalized racism returned to the South with the Supreme Court 1896 ruling Plessy vs. Ferguson.

5. In the 1930's Eleanor Roosevelt strongly supported Civil Rights, but FDR was reluctant to fight too hard for them for fear of angering his southern white supporters.

6. Progress was made in the 1940's:

- Federal ban against discrimination in defense-related work (making weapons for war) led by A. PHILLIP RANDOLPH.

- CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) was founded)

- President Truman's order to DESEGREGATE the armed forces.

- In popular culture: Brooklyn Dodgers is the first Major League Baseball Team to put an AA on its roster: Jackie Robinson.

7. The NAACP began to undermine Plessy vs. Ferguson ruling under the leadership of Charles hamilton houston and thrugood marshell.

According to the Declaration of Independence, when should the people have the right to change their government?
Alinara [238K]
The correct answer is <span>D. When the government doesn't protect their natural rights

This isn't just related to the king, but to all types of governments. The declaration states that if the government in charge, which in their case was the king but it could've been anything else, infringes upon the rights of the people, then the people need to change the government.</span>
