In the American Civil rights movement everyone that was pushing for freedom for all African Americans in America faced a very overwhelming physical force. Throughout the fight the American Civil Rights movement adapted ways to handle the physical force that was pushing them back. Some of the ways that the Civil rights movement adapted was Gandhi’s philosophy of fairness, nonviolence, and self sacrifice in the face of overwhelming physical force. I think the Civil rights movement adapted these ways very well and the out come of doing non violent things where huge. The reason I think this worked so well is because the force that the Civil rights faced they could not have done anything to stop the American Civil rights because they weren’t breaking any laws and the whites had no reason to fight back.
