1. The Truman Doctrine, The Serviceman’s Readjustment Act, Keynesian Economics, and the Marshall Plan were all intended to either boost the economy at home or help foreign economies abroad. The Truman Doctrine was aimed to stop the Soviets during the Cold War. This effort provided political, economic, and military assistance to Greece and Turkey. This Doctrine is considered the foundation of American foreign policy. The Marshall Plan is similar to the Truman Doctrine in the economic aid of foreign countries. This plan was created to help rebuild Europe after WWII. …show more content…
In the years leading up to the Civil Right Movement in the mid 1960s, America was a power keg ready to explode from racial tension. In the 1950s, segregation was at its peak. During this time there were many efforts to combat white supremacy in the United States, especially in the South. One of the most influential men around this time was Gunnar Myrdal. This man was responsible for a 1944 study called An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy. This study was of American society especially the role African Americans played in the 1940s. This study was a key fundamental source in the case of Brown v Board of Education in 1954. This case was a staple in African American culture by being the case that the Supreme Court overturned the state-sponsored segregation of public education. This ruling was one of the first fundamental steps of integration in the late 1950s. Even though the outside world viewed the lives of African Americans to be unequal, there were still people inside the United States that fought very hard to keep society segregated. Among those people was a man named Orval Faubus. This man served as the governor of Arkansas during the Civil Rights movement. He is most infamous for his efforts in the desegregation of Little Rock School District, by calling in the National Guard to stop black students from attending the school. One year prior to the Little Rock incident, a document was written informally known as the Southern Manifesto. This document was signed by politicians of the South in order to counter the ruling of the Brown v Board of Education trial. This was obviously a last chance effort to hold onto their southern roots before segregation
