What relationship does president eisenhower draw between events in the modern civil rights movement and the goals of the united states in waging the cold war ?

The Cold War was a war of ideologies that was waged between the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II. The main reason why these two countries disagreed with each other was due to the fact that the United States supported capitalism, while the Soviet Union supported communism.

President Eisenhower believed that communism was a danger to freedom and to the protection of civil liberties, and he drew a parallel between the Civil Rights movement and the Cold War. He believed that both movements were dedicated to the protection of rights and liberties, and therefore, he believed the United States was justified in trying to prevent the spread of communism all over the world.

from the religious point of view, the conflicts began because of the enmity between catholic and protestants. in 1649, at the insistence of baltimore, the colonial assembly approved the act of religious tolerance, the first law in the colonies granting freedom of worship, though only for christians. in 1654, however, with the protestants of maryland in the majority, the act was revoked. the almost civil war broke out and order was not restored until 1658, when lord baltimore was returned to power.

on the issue of class conflict, the chesapeake region offered few economic opportunities to contract employees who had served their term of obligation. even with the small amount of capital needed to grow tobacco, former hired servants at best became subsistence farmers, a mature class for those called to rebellion, such as those proposed by nathaniel bacon. as the number of new hired workers declined because of limited chances of progress and reports of severe treatment, they were replaced by african slaves.

from the racial point of view, after 1660, the chesapeake colonies imposed laws that defined slavery as a lifelong and hereditary condition based on race. this made slaves profitable because planters could rely not only on their work but also on their children. the slave population, which numbered four thousand in virginia and maryland in 1675, grew significantly by the end of the century.
