The correct answer is D) "Those in power argued that if blacks were allowed a free choice of seating, white business would suffer."

The detail that best supports the central idea that many people oppose Branch Rickey's ideas was "Those in power argued that if blacks were allowed a free choice of seating, white business would suffer."

Let's remember that Branch Rickey was a white executive in the Major Baseball League, who, while working as a top executive of the Brooklyn Dodgers, hired Jackie Robinson, an extraordinary African American baseball player, the first to be part of the roster of a Major League baseball team. Of course, when he did so, he faced opposition form white people who felt threatened by the opening of the business to black fans.

Historically speaking, bilateral relations between the United States and the various countries of Latin America have been multifaceted and complex, at times defined by strong regional cooperation and at others filled with economic and political tension and rivalry. Although relations between the U.S. government and most of Latin America were limited prior to the late 1800s, for most of the past century, the United States has unofficially regarded parts of Latin America as within its sphere of influence, and for much of the Cold War (1947–1991), actively vied with the Soviet Union for influence in the Western Hemisphere.
