C) The Radical Republicans, because they wanted harsher treatment of the south (Congressional reconstruction).

Further Explanation-

President Andrew Johnson took office after the assassination of President Lincoln and was the first president in the history of American History to have impeachment proceedings initiated against him by the Congress. He was elected as the Vice President when Abraham Lincoln was elected as President and was the Governor of Tennessee.

Being a democrat, he was an avid supporter of the rights of states and introduced many populist measures during his term in office. He was the only Governor among the Southern States who supported in favour of the Union. On becoming the President, he took a moderate approach to restoring the South to the Union, which went against the policies of the hard-line conservative Republicans, who believed that as President, he should have taken a stronger approach in restoring the Southern states to the Union, thus preserving the unity and integrity of the United States.

The President wanted to gain support for his policies, but the Republicans who won a majority in both houses of the Congress voted to impeach President Johnson in February 1868. He survived the impeachment charges but did not run for a second term. President Johnson had a challenging Presidency, where he attempted to restore the Southern states to the Union, but also tried to preserve their autonomy and granted amnesty to Confederate generals. However, the Southern States refused to co-operate, and opposed him at every turn, oppressing the newly freed slaves. He was also against the 14th Amendment Act, asking the Southern states against its ratification, which was again unsuccessful.

1. How were the Moche able to farm along the arid coast of Peru?

lora16 [44]

1. The correct answer is C. An extensive system of canals and reservoirs have been found in the archaeological sites of the Moche civilisation. Their agriculture activities benefitted from the canals used to collect water and irrigate their land.

2. The correct answer is B. The Huari and Tiahuanaco are two empires that rose and fell around the same and their relationship seems still unclear. Their shared iconography in art proves that there was a definite interaction between the two empires and affiliation between the two cities.

3. The correct answer is B. The conquered people were allowed to keep their own religion and language, but they were constantly reminded that Inca religion and culture are more important. The Inca government ruled over a territory with 10 million subjects speaking more than 30 different languages.

4. The correct answer is A. Incas have been using antiseptics and anaesthetics in order to perform surgeries. One of the most impressive examples is the brain surgery they performed, by removing specific parts of the skull. They used coca leaves as anaesthetics and painkillers.

5. The correct answer is A. The Inca mastered the art of weaving, an art that had many uses. They created beautiful textile art but they used weaving for keeping records and communicating information. In order to do so, they created the "quipu", which was a portable device believed to act as a substitute for writing. It consisted of a main cord with a set of many strings of different length and colour hanging from it.

Why was Franklin d roosevelt considered one of the best leaders

lina2011 [118]

F.D.R. has been renowned as having been one of our best Presidents, in part, due to his creation of many federal programs designed to help Americans survive the harshness of the great economic depression of the 1930s.
His slew of economic relief programs, later termed "alphabet soup," had many acronyms, hence the nickname. One if the most important of these, still in use today, is the S.S.A. or the social security administration. Social security is still in use today, and our individual SSNs have become a primary form of identification.
