He Supreme Court declared that segregation was unconstitutional in the decision of Brown v. Board of Education. Georgia attempted to refuse this ruling by

the General Assembly

Explanation:

The Georgia General Assembly supported resistance to desegregation in different ways. One of them was to strengthen the Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern states. A curious way of resisting was the state flag of Georgia from 1956 to 2001 that was meant to show resistance to integration. The GA flag was changed again in 2004 into something similar to the flag before 1956.

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.
