The Southern Manifesto was written in 1956 by Southern politicians in response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, which called for the desegregation of public schools. The manifesto opposed racial integration and sought to uphold segregation in the Southern states.
Many Southern states attempted to block school desegregation following the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. They employed various tactics, including passing state laws that mandated "freedom of choice" plans, which allowed parents to choose schools but often resulted in continued segregation. Additionally, some states closed public schools altogether or funded private, segregated schools to circumvent desegregation mandates. These actions reflected deep-rooted resistance to racial integration and the preservation of the Jim Crow system.
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 provided the federal government with additional powers to enforce school desegregation. By tying federal funding to compliance with desegregation mandates, the act incentivized states and school districts to accelerate the integration process. This legislation aimed to address educational inequalities and promote equal access to quality education for all students, regardless of race.

The Southern Manifesto was an important document in the history of the United States as it opposed racial integration in public places, reflecting the resistance to the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision. It galvanized support for segregationists in the Southern states and contributed to the civil rights movement by highlighting the opposition that existed in the South to racial desegregation.
Some similar cases to Brown v. Board of Education that have had a significant impact on school desegregation in the United States include Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, which addressed busing as a means of achieving integration, and Keyes v. School District No. 1, Denver, which dealt with segregation in northern schools. These cases helped further the cause of desegregation in schools across the country.
