Answer:
Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark judicial ruling by the United States Supreme Court that declared that state laws that established separate schools for African-American and white students denied equality of educational opportunities.
The ruling was delivered on May 17, 1954, unanimously (9-0) by the Warren Court; and established that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal". With this, the Supreme Court reversed the existing precedents from Plessy v. Ferguson of 1896. As a result of this ruling, racial segregation came to be considered as a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. This ruling opened the way for racial integration and achieving civil rights for African Americans.
Answer:
Northern, middle, and southern colonies.
Explanation:
The northern colonies had the largest population of any of the colonial regions and were the most similar in regarding to religion. However, this religious zeal began to give way before a growing economy in the early to mid eighteenth century. Rich merchants began to have more influence than puritan preachers. Fish was New England's major export, but livestock and timber also were major exports in the New England economy which was tied to the Atlantic trade routs.
Economically, the Middle Colonies focused mainly on being self sustaining. They lived on family farms where they grew enough to live on. They did not focus on growing large amounts of cash crops like the Southern Colonies. However, the Middle Colonies did export a significant amount of wheat, which made many colonists in this region very wealthy.
The Southern Colonies also had their own unique traits. The major export in the Southern Colonies was tobacco, which was grown in very large quantities on large plantations. The tobacco business was a very labor intensive process. The southern colonies quickly became the most wealthy region of the British colonies. The wealthiest southerners dominated southern politics and created an oligarchy.
Correct answer: D. The United States worried that if Vietnam fell to the communists, other countries in Southeast Asia would follow.
This was known as "domino theory" -- that the spread of communism in Vietnam would result in other countries in the region falling like dominoes to the influence of communism.
Domino theory was, in a sense, a corollary to the policy of containment that had been the United States' goal regarding communism since the end of World War II. George F. Kennan is known for recommending the policy of containment. Kennan was an American diplomat in Moscow who, in 1946, sent a long telegram of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Kennan recommended containing the communist influence the USSR and its allies had. So whenever there was a threat of the spread of communism, as there was in Vietnam, the US tended to react to try to stop that spread.
Answer:
The French wanted to establish a type of trade with the Spanish people in Texas because Louisiana is close to Texas. They also wanted to stop the Spanish from colonizing Louisiana before they did. The French also sold a lot of fur pelts so they made their way down the Mississippi River from Canada to keep their trade going.
