Answer 1

Answer:

In 1956, Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina was one of the writers of the Southern Manifesto. This document was signed by most of the legislators who represented the southern states. This document had been written during the 84th United States Congress.

Explanation:

The Southern Manifesto was written during the 84th United States Congress and aimed to prevent the social integration of black citizens into public places frequented by white citizens. This document is also called the Declaration of Constitutional Principles and was made to prevent the Supreme Court's decision that social segregation was an unconstitutional and therefore illegal act and should not be maintained in the country.

The Southern Manifest was approved by 19 US senators and 82 representatives from the south and was in line with the concepts raised by the Jim Crow Laws.
