Answer:
The Radical Republicans opposed Lincoln's plan because they thought it too lenient toward the South. Radical Republicans believed that Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction was not harsh enough because, from their point of view, the South was guilty of starting the war and deserved to be punished as such.
Correct answer: Court cases challenged the legality of discrimination.
I'll mention key court cases after debunking the other answers in the list. Truman's desegregation of the armed forces happened already in 1948, and impacted only those in the armed forces, rather than all African Americans. The suburbs were NOT welcoming toward African Americans, and they remained in living mostly in urban centers.
As to key court cases of the 1950s regarding discrimination:
1950: Sweatt v. Painter and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents. In these cases, the Supreme Court said segregation of African American students in law and graduate schools was unconstitutional. This was the start of challenging "separate-but-equal" policies.
1954: Brown v. Board of Education. Firm decision that "separate but equal" policies were unconstitutional across the education system. Chief Justice Earl Warren, speaking for the unanimous opinion of the Court, said: “Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”
1955: Brown v. Board II. The Supreme Court directed that school systems must abolish segregation “with all deliberate speed.”
1956: The Supreme Court affirmed a lower court ruling that the segregation of the Montgomery, Alabama, bus system was illegal. This was in reference to the bus boycott that had begun with the protest by Rosa Parks.
1958: Cooper v. Aaron. The Supreme Court upheld the US Court of Appeals (8th Circuit) decision that resistance by local officials and threats of violence in the community did not justify delaying desegregation. This followed in the wake of the Little Rock Nine (a group of black students) seeking enrollment in LIttle Rock Central High School.
"Red Army" is slang, I believe
True. Although there are many people who believe that governors are irrelevant and that the president more or less decides everything with the congress, it is incorrect and bad governors can make a lot of damage to the state that the federal government has to repair out of tax payers money later.
This speech was given by President Kennedy in 1962 in order to address the worrying situation of Soviet arms buildup in Cuba.
In this speech, President Kennedy suggests a series of actions in order to deal with the situation of arms buildup in Cuba. Some of the actions he suggests include:
- A strict quarantine on all offensive military equipment under shipment to Cuba (besides those necessary for fulfilling the basic needs of people).
- Continued and increased close surveillance of Cuba.
- As a policy, all nuclear missiles launched from Cuba against any nation in the West would be considered an attack of the Soviet Union upon the United States.
- The reinforcement of Guantanamo.
- A meeting of the Organ of Consultation under the Organization of American States.
- An emergency meeting of the Security Council.
- A call to the Soviet Union to halt hostilities.
