Cevap

The complete dismantling of systemic racial segregation and disenfranchisement
Proponents of both nonviolent direct action and armed self-defense shared the fundamental goal of ending racial oppression, segregation, and disenfranchisement in the United States, even though they disagreed on the tactical use of violence or self-defense.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the two main strategies in the question
Nonviolent direct action (such as SCLC, SNCC sit-ins) and armed self-defense (such as the Deacons for Defense and Justice).
Understanding the actors and tactics involved is essential to comparing their motivations.
2
Determine the shared objective of both tactics
Both groups aimed to protect Black lives, secure constitutional rights, and eliminate the systemic injustices of Jim Crow.
Although they differed fundamentally on how to achieve change (tactics), their ultimate destination (equality and freedom) was the same.
3
Evaluate the choices to find the one representing this shared objective
The option advocating the dismantling of systemic racial segregation and disenfranchisement aligns perfectly, while other options describe incorrect motivations (passivity, emigration, or supremacy).
This confirms the correct option based on historical consensus.
