The correct answer is: A) They sat in the front of the bus ans used "white" restrooms in bus stations.

The freedom rides refer to a series of political protests against segregation in 1961, both african american and white people participated on them by riding buses together around the American South. They wanted to test the enforcement of a court order prohibiting segregation in interstate bus terminals. Their protests were pacific and consisted on the african americans sitting on the front of the bus and the whites on the back sitting in pairs, also when arriving to the bus stations the participants objective was to used the segregated facilities, such as the restrooms and the food services. As a response the found hostility and great violence in some states, the worst case was in Alabama.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The 7 year war

Taxes and duties

Boston Massacre (1770)

Boston Tea Party (1773)

Intolerable Acts (1774)

King George III’s Speech to Parliament (1775)

Explanation:

The Seven Years War was a multinational conflict, the main belligerents were the British and French Empires. Each looking to expand their territory across numerous continents, both nations suffered mass casualties and racked up copious amounts of debt in order to fund the long and ardous struggle for territorial dominance which led to economic hardship in the US and an acknowledgment of the cultural differences between colonists and Britons. making it one of the key roles that led to the war

Taxes and Duties

The taxes and duties caused outrage in the colonies and became the main root of spontaneous and violent opposition. Encouraged and rallied by propaganda leaflets and posters, such as those created by Paul Revere, colonists rioted and organised merchant boycotts. Eventually, the colonial response was met with fierce repression

Boston Massacre (1770)

The Boston Massacre is often represented as the inevitable start of a revolution, but in fact it initially prompted Lord North’s government to withdraw the Townshend Acts and for a time it seemed like the worst of the crisis was over. However, radicals such as Samuel Adams and Thomas Jefferson kept the resentment ticking over.

Boston Tea Party (1773)

it was in December 1773 that the most famous and overt display of anger and resistance took place. A group of colonists led by Adams hopped aboard the East India Company trade vessel Dartmouth and poured 342 chests of tea (worth close to $2,000,000 in today’s currency) of British tea into the sea at Boston Harbour. This act – now known as the ‘Boston Tea Party’, remains important in patriotic American folklore.

Intolerable Acts (1774)

Rather than attempting to appease the rebels, the Boston Tea Party was met with the passing of the Intolerable Acts in 1774 by the British Crown. These punitive measures included the forced closure of Boston port and an order of compensation to the East India Company for damaged property. Town meetings were now also banned, and the authority of the royal governor was increased.

The British lost further support and patriots formed the First Continental Congress in the same year, a body where men from all the colonies were formally represented. In Britain, opinion was divided as the Whigs favoured reform while North’s Tories wanted to demonstrate the power of the British Parliament. It would be the Tories who got their way.

In the meantime, the First Continental Congress raised a militia, and in April 1775 the first shots of the war were fired as British troops clashed with militia men at the twin battles of Lexington and Concord. British reinforcements landed in Massachusetts and defeated the rebels at Bunker Hill in June – the first major battle of the American War of Independence.

King George III’s Speech to Parliament (1775)

On 26 October 1775 George III, King of Great Britain, stood up in front of his Parliament and declared the American colonies to be in a state of rebellion. Here, for the first time, the use of force was authorised against the rebels. The King’s speech was long but certain phrases made it clear that a major war against his own subjects was about to commence:

<em>“It is now become the part of wisdom, and (in its effects) of clemency, to put a speedy end to these disorders by the most decisive exertions. For this purpose, I have increased my naval establishment, and greatly augmented my land forces, but in such a manner as may be the least burthensome to my kingdoms.”</em>

After such a speech, the Whig position was silenced and a full-scale war was inevitable. From it the United States of America would emerge, and the course of history radically changed<em>.</em>

What point is Roosevelt trying to make in this speech?
Luba_88 [7]

The correct answer is B.

<u>This is part of a radio speech delivered by President Roosevelt in December 1940</u> (this was the second year in WWII, and the US was still neutral in the conflict).

He aimed to convince the audience about the necessity of ensuring a safe defense strategy for Great Britain, so that they were able to avoid the German invasion and resist the many attacks they were suffering.

Apart from the ideological fight against nazism, Roosevelt highlighted how if GB fell, the last territory in the Atlantic, before reaching the US, would have been conquered. That would pose a direct threat on the US. <u>Therefore, he supported the idea that GB should remain free at any cost. </u>
