Why did the US civil rights movement gain new momentum after World War II

History

masha68 [24]3 years ago
3 0

Hi, I'm going to answer this with some of my general knowledge.

During the time of the World War and after, there was a lot of resentment of the government by the American people. They felt that our government was <u>too concerned with foreign affairs</u> when there were so many domestic problems happening at home: racism, sexism, homophobia etc.

Also, after the War, the<u> economy was booming</u> and healthy. More African-Americans were <u>apart of the middle class and stable</u> enough to concern themselves with the Civil Rights Movement.

One other thing is the rise of Civil Rights Activists like Martin Luther King or Malcolm X or groups like The Black Panthers at the time.

This helped propel the Civil Rights agenda.

Integration of the high school in Little Rock finally happened when
Damm [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is the second one: <em>President Eisenhower sent federal troops to protect the students</em>.

Explanation:

The first statement doesn't relate to the question and the last statement refers to an event before the integration in the High School in Little Rock.

In 1954 the Supreme Court had ruled in Brown v. Board of Education case that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.

So in 1957, the black movement decided to test the decision by registering nine black students in the Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Governor Faubus tried to stop the group from studying there by calling the Arkansas National Guard to prevent their entrance to the school.

A few days later President Eisenhower sent in federal agents and troops to escort the students into the school.

The black students were recruited by a member of the local NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and received counseling sessions to understand and to prepare for the beginning of the school year and to know how to act on possible hostile situations inside the school.

Neporo4naja [7]

Many enclosure acts were passed from about 1600 to 1900, thereby shutting off peasants from common lands on which they could formerly graze their sheep and raise crops. The Enclosure Acts were passed so that landowners could make higher profits from their land and increase agricultural productivity.
