I’m pretty sure it’s the Soviet Union because it was a communist country and America was democratic and didn’t wish to help or have communications with communist organizations.
These are three significant events during the civil rights movement, as well as an explanation of what these events helped achieve:
- The case Brown v. Board of Education took place in May, 1954. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public schools was against the Constitution. This helped achieve more integration among white and black people. It also emphasized the idea that people from all races deserve the same rights.
- In September, 1957, President Eisenhower signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 into law. This document ensured that no person was deprived from the right to vote, regardless of their skin color.
- Throughout 1961, black and white activists took part of the "Freedom Rides." They visited the South and attempted to use "whites-only" restrooms or lunch counters. The greatest benefit of this was the fact that it drew international attention to the civil rights movement.
The big difference is that today's judgments have a legal rite. People should be judged with dignity, which was not always the case at that time, and condemnation must be evidence-based, which was not always respected either.
Another difference is that today there is no judgment based on supernatural situations, as was the case of the Witches of Salem. For a judgment made under the aegis of democracy, crime must have motives that can be substantiated. Finally, people who are tried today have a broad right of defense, which was not the case in the Middle Ages.
The reason we joined in world war one was due to the germans sinking merchant ships that had US citizens on them and they were also sinking some of our own ships. Due to that President Wilson involved us in the war.
