President Kennedy sent <u>federal troops</u> to the University of Alabama and the University of Mississippi.

Racist policies in the south were preventing black citizens from access to education. The governor of Alabama, George Wallace, was supporting the racial policies of the university. President Kennedy forced him to back down by calling out the Alabama National Guard in 1963.

The reference to Mississippi would seem to be to events that occurred actually in October, 1962. President Kennedy <span>ordered 23,000 federal troops be deployed to the University of Mississippi to bring an end to rioting by students who were protesting the admission of a black student.</span>

HELP- How do "ethnocentrism" and "Social Darwinism" influence Imperialism?

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

By extending their arguments to address entire nations, some social Darwinists justified imperialism on the basis that the imperial powers were naturally superior and their control over other nations was in the best interest of human evolution.

Ethnocentric: Imperial nations sometimes believed that their cultural values or beliefs were superior to other nations or groups. Imperial conquest, they believed, would bring successful culture to inferior people. Empires sought strategic territory to ensure access for their navies and armies around the world.
