How did the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s impact Americans’ attitudes toward the Federal government? Were these attitudes consistent?

A  Plessy v Fergusen answered the question of civil rights by prohibiting states from segregating Americans based on race.

B  Southern states led the movement towards desegregation and racially equality while Democratic presidents like JFK and LBJ resisted using the federal government to protect civil rights.

C  As a result of Brown vs Board of Education and grassroots movements pushing for equality, the federal government was compelled to force desegregation on states which resisted it.

D  Racial segregation was universally reviled across the United States. Nearly all states were relieved that the Supreme Court has outlawed it.
