How was desegregation achieved in the USA between 1945 to 1972?
Throughout the majority of history, there has been a separation of whites and blacks in american society. This is called segregation. The degree of segregation in america depended in which part of the country you lived in. in the north, if you were black you were treated as (almost) an equal to the white `rulers` of the land. Whereas, if you had lived in the deep southern states of america, the degree of racial hatred that you had experienced would have felt non-paralleled. This dates back to the american civil war. in the american civil war two parties fought; the `Yankees` and the confederates. The Yankees were based in the north of the USA and believed in Abraham Lincoln's idea that slavery should be abolished. The confederates however, were based in the south and believed that slavery was a custom in america and that black people were inferior to white people. In the south of the USA the confederates' ideas were still believed to be true. This was where the fundamental hatred had spawn from. Black and white people were segregated in almost every form, from busses to water fountains. But throughout the years, desegregation was achieved through a mixture of measures to give us the america that stands before us today
