During the first part of the twentieth century, the United States was one of the best-educated countries in the world. This was possible because of several policies. First, the United States greatly expanded colleges and universities during these years. Moreover, more money was being set aside for education by Congress. This allowed the government to greatly improve the education system. Finally, more high school students were going to college than ever before.
The answers are "Expansion of Colledge and University", "Congress giving more money for education". And "More high school students going on to College."
The issue of counting slaves in the population which determined representation in Congress was a major issue at the heart of the 3/5 Compromise which was one of the major compromises between the northern and southern states during the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
There are several important constitutional issues at the start of Reconstruction, but perhaps the greatest was if the newly freed slaves could be counted as citizens.
