Answer:
The death of Elijah Lovejoy in 1837 convinced many northerners that slavery was incompatible with white Americans' liberties.
Explanation:
Elijah Parish Lovejoy was an American journalist and abolitionist who was killed in Alton, Illinois, for attempting to defend his press against rioters in favor of slavery.
On three occasions, the presses used by Lovejoy had been destroyed by rioters. Refugee in his printing press, he tried this time to resist, weapon in hand. The rioters managed to fire the building, however, before shooting at Lovejoy as it fled the burning building. His death sparked a national controversy between abolitionists and anti-abolitionists. Attorney Wendell Phillips defended the printer in a speech delivered at Faneuil Hall in Boston on December 8, 1837, elevating him to the rank of champion of the freedom of press.

Allan Bakke had been the subject of a case involving <u>“reverse discrimination” </u>during the carter administration.
In 1978 Allan Bakke applied for admission at medical school and it was declined twice by the University of California, so Bakke filed a suit against the University arguing that he had better scores than the minority groups that were granted access.
At that time, the university had reserved a quota of 16%, as part of affirmative action program, to minority groups. Affirmative action program was designed to provide better educational and employment opportunities to those groups.
In this legal case, Bakke claimed that the use of quota based on race was unfair “reverse discrimination” as according the Civil Right Act, equal protection should be given to all citizens. The Supreme Court, in a highly controversial case, ordered that the university should admit Bakke and declared that affirmative action was constitutional but could not be used in cases of race quotas.
