How did white Americans justify segregation

1 answer:

3 0

White Americans tried to justify segregation by using the "separate but equal" clause. They believed that segregation was okay, as long as the facilities that contained segregation were equal.

The "separate but equal" idea got debunked numerous times. An example of where "separate but equal" turned out to be false was the Brown v. Board of Education case. This case started when a young African American girl had to walk over a mile to her black school when there was a white school only a couple blocks away. The Brown v. Board of Education case ended up going all of the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled that "separate but equal" was inherently false and not equal whatsoever.

The correct answer is the second statement: "The border between Alaska and British Columbia is a thick line, indicating an international border.".

Alaska is an American state and British Columbia is a province of Canada. Although both are administrative divisions of their respective countries, they belong to different nations and the demarcation is made by a thick line, which represents an international border.

As both Texas and New Mexico are states within the United States of America, these subnational entities are under the jurisdiction of the same country and thus this division is demarcated in the map by a thin line, which indicates a state border.
