Q.1 What were feedom riders?

The Freedom Rides of 1961 was a revolutionary movement where black and white people refused to sit in their designated areas of buses to protest segregation. Blacks sat in the front of the bus and whites sat in the back, opposite of the usual arrangements. There were multiple different rides from several different locations and a variety of people. At every stop, the freedom riders would use the opposite segregated facilities such as bathrooms, restaurants, and water fountains

Q.2.where and when?

They began in Washington DC on May 4, 1961 and went to New Orleans originally. But the rides sparked a revolution and inspired many other people from several states to take part in the freedom rides and support the fight for racial justice.

Q.3who was involved?

The idea was conceived by The Congress of Racial Equality and the first ride involved 7 blacks and 6 whites who boarded the bus in Washington D.C. Many Freedom Riders were trained Civil Rights Activists who practiced peaceful protest and lead with bravery. Some were even involved in the diner sit in's the year before.

Q.4.why?

They intended to test the Supreme Court's ruling in Boynton v. Virginia (1960), which declared segregation in interstate bus and rail stations unconstitutional but was failing to be enforced.

Boynton vs Virginia was a court case about a man named Bruce Boynton who was in a restaurant within a "white only" bus terminal and refused to leave. He was arrested for trespassing, but the offense was turned over by the Supreme Court because "white only" and "black only" areas were deemed unconstitutional through Brown v. Board of Education (1954).

This was also the next step towards anti-segregation that promoted the ideas brought on by diner sit in's that took place in the previous year.

The Freedom Rides also had the goal of gaining not only public attention but also the attention of the Kennedy Association in order to raise awareness of the rising Civil Rights Movement.

How did the Kansas-Nebraska act make the Civil War more likely to happen?
Radda [10]

Answer:

It temporarily avoided a civil war again, popular sovereignty being used as a factor to decide whether the state will be free or a slave state. The slavery issue is becoming worse and more violent. This is igniting the fire of civil war. It effectively repealed both the Missouri Compromise 1820 and Compromise of 1850.

What British possession became the strongest center of christianity of the west indies
vaieri [72.5K]
In 1788, the colonization of Austria began ... * ahem * Australia
In Europe, meanwhile, one Cake raged. As a result of the war, Great Britain captured the Ionian Islands, Malta, Seychelles, Mauritius, Saint Lucia, Tobago; Trinidad was taken from Spain, Guyana and the Cape colony from the Netherlands.
In Asia, Britain had the goal of spreading its influence in India and China.
The British ruled India with the help of the East India Company, and for a long time it was effective. Moreover, the principalities are governed by locals who are subordinate to the British (if that has always been a hired army. You never know)
However, everything comes to an end. Namely: in 1858, these mercenaries decided to set up a bund.
The riot was suppressed, the problem is different. Who to trust now?
So the British thought and established direct control over India, thereby laying the foundation for British India. In 1858, Queen Victoria was crowned as Empress of India.
In China, they traded in drugs. So what? It may be mean, but how else to get at least something from this China?
Only the Chinese did not really like it. Because of what the Opium Wars began. As a result of the first, Britain received the island of Hong Kong in 1842.
Let's dig into Russia for a minute. What is she? Yes ... ... The Persians and the Ottomans only win ... And they may invade India.
“If a fight is inevitable - hit first”, Britain thought, and hit ... No, not Russia (it will be a little later), but Afghanistan. But Britain did not succeed (yes, and it happens).
Later, Britain and Russia will fight for Afghanistan, but no one will conquer it.
In Africa, there were conflicts with the Boers - former residents of the Cape Colony, who were driven out by the British. The Boers founded their own states, which the British tried to capture, but they succeeded only in 1902
In 1869, the Suez Canal was founded.
In the 1880s, Egypt came under British control (although not direct).
In the same 1880s, Europeans began to colonize Africa. And who, if not Britain, will not join the sharing.
