The correct answer is A.
Brown V. Board of Education was a landmark decision enacted by the US Supreme Court in 1954, that <u>abolished segregation in public schools and understood that the 'separate but equal' principle that had governed such procedures was violating the Equal Protection Clause</u> and therefore, unconstitutional. This clause was introduced by the 14th amendtment to the US Constitution during the Reconstruction Era, aiming to guarantee equality of rights to all US citizens.
This decision (in 195), overturned the former Plessy v. Ferguson decision from 1896, that had understood that the 'separate but equal' principle did not violate the Equal Protection clause and, therefore, it enabled segregation because it stated that Congress did not have power to ban it when public segregated facilities were comparable in quality.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
The Ku Klux Klan, a terrorist organization in the south, did everything within their power to remove African American representatives from their seats after 1876.
The goal of the Ku Klux Klan during Reconstruction was to restrict and frighten blacks from being involved in Southern governments. White supremacists such as the Ku Klux Klan hated black people and did not want African Americans to be more than slaves.
The KKK was a secret organization formed by racist white supremacist men. The organization was formed on December 25, 1865, in Pulaski, Tennessee. Another similar extremist group was the White Camelia which was founded on May 22, 1867, by Alcibiades Deblanc, in Franklin, Louisiana. Both groups aimed to support the white supremacy race and attacked and caused terror on African American families.
Reconquista means "reconquest" and is generally used to describe the re-population of the southwest American territories by Mexicans (since their land was originally taken by the United States).
