History

7 0

Answer:

C) Support of laws protecting slavery in the 19th century.

Explanation:

America during the 1800s, after Reconstruction ended, and even into the 1900s showed clear tyranny in the treatment of African Americans. Southerners and Northerners alike, despite the several Amendments banning them from the indoctrination of slavery. Northerners, after it was proven that ending slavery would be a challenging task, gave up entirely on protecting African American rights, and the Southerners used methods like literacy tests and the Jim Crow Laws to put African Americans into slavery-like conditions. Groups like the KKK rose in attempts to stop Africans Americans from using their rights by committing acts of violence. America's treatment of the African American community being entirely against them shows what exactly can happen when the entire majority of a democratic nation are tyrannical.

EastWind [94]
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.
