Praxis II World and US History

Answer: D - The U.S. Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia led to the termination of anti-miscegenation laws, which prohibited interracial marriage. Many states had some form of an anti-miscegenation law on their books during the 18th and 19th centuries, with the laws varying slightly from state to state. The Loving case dealt with an interracial couple imprisoned and banished from Virginia strictly on the grounds of their marriage. Their ultimate success in court led to the end of all remaining anti-miscegenation laws nationwide.
