Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Southern Manifesto was written by southern officials who declared that their states were not bound by Supreme Court decisions outlawing racial segregation, particularly the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. It was issued in 1956, well after the Civil War. The Manifesto was a protest against federal intervention in the states' ability to govern themselves with respect to segregation policies. It did not argue in favor of national government power, nor did it invalidate the Tenth Amendment.
