President eisenhower believed that forced desegregation in the south as a result of the brown v. board decision would result in: a. setting back progress in civil rights. b. secession votes by state governments. c. election of african american leaders. d. violence by african american students.

The correct answer is:  

A. Setting back progress in civil rights.  

President Eisenhower didn't openly back the Brown decision that stated that segregation in public schools was a violation of the 14th amendment. The president avoided speaking out in favor of the court's decree. Despite his silence, Eisenhower did uphold his constitutional responsibility to support the Supreme Court’s rulings.

i confess that there are several parts of this constitution which i do not at present approve, but i am not sure i shall never approve them: for having lived long, i have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. it is therefore that the older i grow, the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.
