The answer is <u>Jim Crow laws.</u>

Jim Crow laws were a series of restrictions that enforced racial segregation in the United States. They were enacted especially in the Southern States of America through almost a century, from 1877 to the beginning of the Civil Right Movement in the 1950s,

The statutes prohibited African American to attend and be in certain places where white people were, such as neighborhoods, restrooms, building entrances, elevators, cemeteries, amusement-park, cashier windows, churches, hospitals, jails, universities, etc.

In the speech, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is clearly talking about these laws, because though in theory the racial segregation was supposed to be "equal" for both races, in practice, the laws were never equal, black people never enjoyed the same benefits that white people enjoyed, and put African American in a place of inferiority and made them uncomfortable.

Which of the following best describes the dominio theory which was used as a justification for us involvement in Vietnam
alex41 [277]
It meant that as soon as one country falls under communist control, another country would fall and so on. Vietnam at the time was split into North (communist) and South (being attacked by North) and the US didn't want communism to spread, reasoning that it might eventually come to the US if nothing was done.

What alliances were formed, and how did these alliances compete during the Cold War?
Darya [45]

Answer:

In 1949, the prospect of further Communist expansion prompted the United States and 11 other Western nations to form the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The Soviet Union and its affiliated Communist nations in Eastern Europe founded a rival alliance, the Warsaw Pact, in 1955. Joining the USSR in the alliance were Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), Hungary, Poland, and Romania. This lineup remained constant until the Cold War ended with the dismantling of all the Communist governments in Eastern Europe in 1989 and 1990. Initial member-states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) included the United States and all five Brussels treaty nations, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, Norway, and Portugal. Several countries were invited to join NATO but refused, including Finland, Ireland, Sweden, and the ever-neutral Switzerland.

NATO favored capitalism and the USSR favored communism. These alliances rivaled each other and fought for dominance. NATO ended up coming on the top to save capitalism.
