The purpose of the Declaration of Independence is to explain to foreign nations and King George III why the colonies had chosen to separate themselves from Great Britain and become independent.

Answer:
The high incidence of disease spread from Europeans to
American Indian populations
weakened American Indian tribes significantly, making them more vulnerable to European invasion.
Explanation:
The population of American Indian tribes was greatly decimated by diseases, especially smallpox and other communicable diseases. Most of the diseases were brought by the Europeans who had developed immunity to the diseases, and as a result did not suffer from the diseases but were able to spread the diseases whenever they had contact with the native Indian tribes.
C. Andrew Johnson
Andrew Johnson was the seventeenth president of the US and followed Lincoln after his assassination. He was a Democrat and as vice president offered a good bridge to the South as the Civil War was ending but as president he was not trusted by the Republicans.
Andrew Johnson pardoned Confederate leaders, allowing them to keep their land and sometimes positions in society. He provided an easy path back into the Union and did not protect blacks from the growing power of groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Johnson vetoed a civil rights act that would have prevented segregation and violence against former slaves. His policies would convince Republicans that they would have to take Reconstruction over in Congress.
