The Civil Rights Movement’s goals, strategies, and support began changing as new victories and defeats in the movement transformed the message of social and political equality to one that began encompassing  economic empowerment for the Black community. The 1950's-1960's was a span of two decades of radical changes in the infrastructure of American political and social spheres. From the mid 50's to 60's, the fight for civil rights was led primarily by leaders advocating nonviolence and civil disobedience.

After the Civil War, in which slavery was abolished, segregation set in in full force and those slaves who were freed were denied their basic rights, including the right to vote, with a series of arguments that established supposed inferiority due to race on the part of African Americans, by whites. The movement strengthened its efforts and it became so effective, that it achieved its political, social and economic goals through the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which also led to the institution of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 and then the Fair Housing Act of 1968. These laws strengthened the federal government's power to regulate state government's denial of civil rights.

The Civil War era was a period of great economic, political, and social upheaval in American history. Due to the war, the whole of the South's economic structure was literally destroyed.

Erikson classified preschool children as being in the stage of O Trust vs. Mistrust O Autonomy vs Doubt and Shame O Industry vs
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Erikson classified preschool children as being in the stage of Initiative vs Guilt .

Explanation:

Erik Erikson was a German psychoanalyst and theorist who developed a theory by means of which the different stages of the psychological development of people are described, and the problems that are developing in each one of them.

Thus, for preschool children (under 6 years old), Erikson determined that their stage is characterized by the clash between initiative and guilt, understanding both concepts as the will to take actions and explore the outside world, and guilt or the fear of failing, doing the wrong thing, or harming someone. Thus, Erikson details that at this stage, the person leaves his family nucleus to relate to the outside world, exploring it and beginning to understand his freedoms, his abilities and the consequences of his actions, as well as personally interacting with other people by outside his family.
