Answer:

The correct answer is C. The Civil Rights Movement benefited the most from Bull Connor's represive actions in the 1960s, as people saw what racism in the South was like.

Explanation:

"Bull" Connor was an American politician and administrative official. He became known mainly through his strict enforcement of segregation and his violent crackdown on peaceful demonstrators of the civil rights movement in the early 1960s in Birmingham, Alabama.

Although not a member of the Ku Klux Klan himself, Bull Connor, as police chief of Birmingham, exposed the same violence used by the clan. In 1961, he prevented police intervention when KKK members at a bus stop beat together a group of civil rights activists. Through such actions and the poor image of the city in the media as a source of racial conflict, Connor lost the backing even in the majority of white residents.

John F. Kennedy.
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

John F. Kennedy had this type of relationship with:

- Richard Nixon. Senator JFK (Democrat)  and vice president Nixon were rival candidates for the presidency in 1960. JFK won. Nixon would run again in 1968 and win.

- Martin Luther King Jr.  JFK was a supporter of civil rights and in this regard, he had a coincidence with MLK´s philosophy and goals. Dr. King supported Kennedy in his 1960 campaign. JFK´s brother Robert made calls to release Dr. King after his arrest during protests.

- Senator Joe McCarthy - Joseph Kennedy, president JFK´s father, was a friend of the famous senator Joseph McCarthy (both were of Irish famlies and shared similar anti-communist views). JFK and his brother Bob were also friends with McCarthy

- Fidel Castro. In 1961, with Kennedy´s approval, the CIA sent an invasion force made of Cuban exiles to get Castro out of power. It failed. The Cuban revolutionary leader gave revolution a radical turn, became an ally of the Soviet Union and an open US enemy. He allowed the USSR to install nuclear missiles in Cuba, but Kennedy got the missiles withdrawn from the island in 1962 following the October 1962 crisis.

- Nikita Khrushchev was the Soviet top leader that was involved in the October Missile Crisis in 1962 in Cuba. He faced the US warning, threat and naval blockade, but in the end he decided to de-escalate and withdrew the nuclear missiles from Cuba.

- Ngo Dinh Diem. He was a South Vietnamese president and had the support of the United States. He was Washington´s man in Vietnam for some years, until he was killed in a military coup that led to another government.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

It made the factories more accessible to get freight railed across vast distances reliable and to schedule. 

A manufacturer could say they could get something to you door to door almost in 7 days and you could rely on that instead of 10-14 days by horse and cart or longer. 

There are probably several reasons for Government regulations but one of the most obvious one was the Rail Gauge (distance between tracks). It enabled all of the rail companies build and use their own locomotives and rolling stock and use the same tracks rather than having to lay their own lines, or have bogie changing stations
