What did Washington secretly support?
Prohibition
Court Challenges to Segregation
Women's Suffrage
The Gold Standard
Answer
Court challenges to segregation were secretly supported by Washington because of its concerns about potential disruptions to national unity and internal security caused by the growing civil rights movement in the United States during the mid-1950s. By providing legal assistance and financial support to civil rights organizations, the U.S. government aimed to advance civil rights objectives while maintaining public order and preventing violent clashes between civil rights activists and segregationists.
