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.

What was the main purpose of the marshall plan? science forum?
Vikentia [17]

The Marshall Plan rebuilt European countries' economies after the devasation of World War II.

Explanation/context:

The "Marshall Plan" was named after the man who then was US Secretary of State, George C. Marshall.  Officially the plan was called the European Recovery Program.  Marshall announced the plan in 1947, and it went into effect in 1948.  The intent was to provide aid and rebuilding to European economies after the damaging effects of World War II.   Eastern bloc countries, however, rejected the plan, so it ended up as a plan that benefited Western European nations and not Eastern European nations.

In his speech introducing the plan, Secretary Marshall had said:  "Our policy is not directed against any country, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Any government that is willing to assist in recovery will find full co-operation on the part of the United States. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist."

The view in the communist-controlled Eastern bloc was that the US was trying to use such a policy to spread its influence and threaten their patterns of government under communism.  So the plan ended up building allies for the US in Western Europe, while the Eastern European countries sided with the Soviet Union.
