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

History
1 answer:
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.

What is NOT a reason that third-parties have typically been unsuccessful? (Select the FALSE statement.)
lapo4ka [179]

Explanation: Third parties often represent an ideology that is considered too radical by the mainstream parties and their constituents.

Nadya [2.5K]
If there was a sudden, significant event in the area (such as a volcanic eruption) then a population with higher biodiversity is more likely to contain at least 1 species which will be adapted enough to survive in the changed environment than an area with lower species diversity.<span />
