What issue would not concern most progressives?
Racial segregation in the South
What did segregation in the south mean?
segregation in the south means that the blacks and the whites were separated by their skin color and being judged by it
Was segragation practiced all over the US?
Assuming you mean racial segregation, that was primarily practiced in the South, although some in the North were known to be segregationists.Actually, the practice of segregation was commonplace throughout the entire US up through much of the 20th century. In this context, "segregation" refers to the social practice of keeping the races separate.The formal legal mechanisms to enforce segregation were mostly phased out (or never existed) in all states not part of the Old Confederacy between 1880 and 1920. However, informal segregation enforced by social convention still held sway over most of the US up to the 1960s. For instance, a black person entering a diner seen as "whites only" in 1900 New York City would have been refused service and told to leave, but with no legal reprocussions; however, the same situation in Atlanta could have resulted in the black being arrested.
Why did the south break away from the US before the Civil War?
Because the south's belief/outlook on slavery clashed with the belief/outlook of the north.
Busloads of students rode into the South to challenge the segregation laws there. What were these journeys called?
Freedom rides
