Question

Why were people so angry, to the point of violence, about the integration of our schools?

Answer 1

Answer:

They did not want to share equal rights with African Americans.

Explanation:

School integration ended race-based segregation within American public and private schools. After the Civil War, the Southern States tried to limit the rights of African American by implementing the laws of Jim Crow. The Southern found a way to keep the African Americans separate by introducing the segregation laws. These laws separated African Americans from the white by building different schools, public places, parks, etc.

When the government decided to look upon the issue of education, Brown v. Board of Education took decision declared the same school to everyone. Most southerners had no plan of desegregating their schools and were angry and in point of violence as they did not want to maintain a separate school for the African American.
