Answer:

The correct answer is D. The remaining students who persevered through Alabama were promptly arrested in Mississippi.

Explanation:

The Freedom Ride is the name of a form of resistance that emerged from the US Civil Rights Movement. The so-called Freedom Riders participated in the abolition of state-sanctioned segregation by driving in intercity buses to the southern United States to the implementation of the Supreme Court decisions in Morgan v. Virginia and Boyton v. Virginia, to test the prohibition of segregation in public transport, restaurants and waiting rooms.

The first Freedom Ride left Washington, D.C. on May 4, 1961, and was to reach New Orleans on May 17. The aim of the trip was to test and sue for the status quo and local laws in a joint drive by whites and blacks. The voyage and violent protests that were provoked gave the Civil Rights Movement a boost and first drew attention to the problem among American citizens and later the world. Participants were arrested partly for trespassing, unlawful assembly and violation of state and local laws.

The Freedom Riders had committed themselves to non-violent resistance before the voyage, but were aware that they might face arrests and riots.

Why do you think the U.S. maintained a position of neutrality in World War II for so long? What was the role of the U.S. in this

Tamiku [17]

The US believed in isolation, if another country attacked the US that is the only way that we would get involved, therefore we tried to stay out of the mass killings and havoc that the Germans and Japanese were creating until we felt that it involved the US. The US did not want to pick a side and have to stay loyal to that side and go to war when that country did because of the alliance. The US finally joined in to help the allied powers to supply them with weapons/military troops. They did not enter the war until December 1941.
