If the legislative and executive branches of government aren't helping your cause, which branch of government is left? The judicial branch. The courts of the United States began to play a larger and larger role in affirming equal rights for all citizens regardless of race. Civil rights activists staged marches and sit-ins and took seats on buses and in restaurants that society said they weren't entitled to have. So the civil rights activists did a lot to press their own cause in their own ways. But as far as government goes, the defense of civil rights came first from court decision such as Brown vs. the Board of Education (1954) which ruled that segregated schools are unconstitutional, and Loving vs. Virginia (1967) which ruled that laws prohibiting interracial marriage are unconstitutional.

Answer from: Quest

the correct answer is "pioneers carried all of their possessions on long and dangerous trails".

the first wave of pioneers travelled in 1842. they were merely 100 people. the next year that sum climbed to 1000 men, women, and children. these people travelled around 2,000 miles to oregon in the hopes of a better life. although the first part of the trip didn't present many obstacles, as time and miles went by they learnt that threat came from simple things, like becoming ill due to unclean water or bad food.

the weather didn't much, as wagons couldn't protect them from storms. as they travelled through the desert, the intense heat caused wood to shrink. their own lips abscessed and split because of the dry air. the only cure for this was to rub axle grease on their lips.

even crossing rivers was dangerous. sometimes wheels were damaged by unseen rocks on shallow water. mud didn't much either. pioneers were afraid of indian attacks, but there aren't many records of fights between pioneers and native americans. accidents happened because of negligence, exhaustion, guns, and bad weather.

history says that 1 of 10 pioneers who travelled to oregon didn't survive the journey. diseases spread fastly because they didn't have doctors and medical care was ofently improvised. one of the most deadly diseases they came upon was cholera, which became a worldwide pandemia.
