Answer:
In the early sixteenth century, Iran was united under the rule of the Safavid dynasty (1501–1722), the greatest dynasty to emerge from Iran in the Islamic period. The Safavids descended from a long line of Sufi shaikhs who maintained their headquarters at Ardabil, in northwestern Iran. In their rise to power, they were supported by Turkmen tribesmen known as the Qizilbash, or red heads, on account of their distinctive red caps. By 1501, Isma‘il Safavi and his Qizilbash warriors wrested control of Azerbaijan from the Aq Quyunlu, and in the same year Isma‘il was crowned in Tabriz as the first Safavid shah (r. 1501–24). Upon his accession, Shi‘a Islam became the official religion of the new Safavid state, which as yet consisted only of Azerbaijan. But within ten years, all of Iran was brought under Safavid dominion. However, throughout the sixteenth century, two powerful neighbors, the Shaibanids to the east and the Ottomans to the west (both orthodox Sunni states), threatened the Safavid empire.

When Lincoln was first elected president, he hoped to prevent war by allowing slavery in the United States. As time went on, he saw the purpose of the war as putting an end to slavery. Once the Civil War was over, President Lincoln did not intend to punish the South. He felt everyone had suffered enough. He wanted to help the South, and the whole country, rebuild. The process of rebuilding the country following the Civil War was called Reconstruction. The official surrender by General Lee to General Grant occurred at Appomattox Court House, and the terms were generous to the South. The terms of surrender said that the Southern soldiers could go home and would not be prosecuted for treason. It also said that they must surrender their guns, but could keep their horses. Officers were allowed to keep their sidearms. In order to make the achievements of the war permanent, three amendments were added to the U.S. Constitution.
