in what way did the establishment of the interstate highway system impact the united states?
it helped to make automobiles more affordable for average americans.
it increased the costs associated with shipping goods out of state.
it improved tourism to the united states from foreign countries.
it allowed people to live farther away from where they worked.

Explanation:

1. Emmett Till's 1955 murder and the acquittal of his killers sparked national outrage, fueling grassroots protests and inspiring activists to push harder for civil rights, rather than causing immediate school desegregation, the 1957 Civil Rights Act (which was driven by broader ongoing activism), or widespread violent riots.
2. The Interstate Highway System enabled faster, long-distance travel, making suburbanization feasible. This allowed people to reside in suburban areas while commuting to urban workplaces, which is its key impact. It did not make cars more affordable, increase shipping costs (it reduced them), or primarily boost international tourism.

Answer:

1. It led to protests and motivated people to take action
2. It allowed people to live farther away from where they worked.
