Best Answer

There were two major ways in which the freedom rides were significant to the movement. First, they put a great deal of pressure on the federal government to do something. The levels of violence perpetrated by those who opposed the rides was appalling. Whites in the North saw this violence and it turned them against the segregationists in the South. This helped put pressure on the federal government to act. Second, the rides helped to inspire African Americans in the South. The bravery of the riders in the face of the violence was important in persuading more African Americans to get involved.
