Compare and contrast the civil war and the civil rights movement.

One hundred-fifty years ago, competing visions for the country and conflicting definitions of freedom led to a war that threatened the very existence of the United States. The nation was shattered into North and South by blue and gray. Fifty years ago, the streets of American cities ran red with blood again. From 2011-2015, the National Park Service joined the rest of the country in commemorating these major events that changed the nation forever–and continue to challenge it today. To honor these sacrifices, among many other special events, 40,000 people marched across the killing fields of Pickett’s Charge

at Gettysburg, and 50,000 marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma.

Explanation:

Though the Civil War began the movement to extend equality to African Americans, the promises of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments provide easier to accomplish in theory rather than in practice. The promising start towards racial equality soon faltered during the tensions of Reconstruction and laws were soon enacted across the country which enforced segregation of the races and the second-class status of African Americans.

Today, nearly 150 years since the end of the Civil War, people of all races, colors, creeds and beliefs continue the struggle to make America a nation where truly "all men are created equal."

explanation:

there are two statements that are incorrect.

1. the marshall plan was a lend lease program. it was an economic plan that europe redevelop itself after wwii.

2. einstein didn't really do anything to further the allied cause in building the bomb. he merely sent a letter to fdr telling him (in 1939) that if the united states entered the war, perhaps it would be wise to build the bomb before germany did. i would say this answer is incorrect, but when america entered the war 2 years later, fdr thought it might be a good idea to take einstein's advice.

the 4th choice is definitely so wrong that is likely the single answer of this question
