My Answer: State after state passed laws of desegregation. In 1956 southern congressman signed the Southern Manifesto. And also, Virginia pioneered the strategy of closing any public schools ordered to desegregate and offering funds to enable white pupils, but not black, to attend private institutions.

Hope I helped! :D
