Paine responded with a resounding "no!", since he believed that it was highly impractical for such a vast amount of territory like the colonies and North America to be ruled by such a small island nation.
Student movements
African-American college students got very involved in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's. For example, four African-American college students started the sit-in protests at the Woolworth's lunch counter in North Carolina. This form of peaceful protest became extremely popular and resulted in the end of segregated seating at this Woolworth's facility.
Women's Liberation
One of the biggest developments of the women's liberation movement was the publishing of the book the <em>Feminine </em><em>Mystique </em>by Betty Friedan. This book has sold millions of copies and was known for its radical views. In this book, Friedan discusses how women should not be limited to the role of housewife. Rather, they should follow their own goals and do what they want to do instead of being pressured into societal norms.
Counterculture
The counterculture of the 1960's grew from the development of the Beatnik generation of the 1950's. This group was against organized religion and often experimented with drugs in order to alter their perception of reality.

Adjustment and Compliance
Explanation:
The response of the South to the civil rights act can be said to be of compliance. The leaders who were vocal opposers of discrimination subsided into acceptance of the law. The act reflected a period of adjustment from the South in response to the act.
Miniscule rioting and violence were observed and some businessmen and politicians could hold up the courage to display some sort of resistance. The ban called out in support of excluding blacks was greatest in the “rim states” which included parts of modern-day Virginia, Texas, North Carolina and Florida.
