This quote relates to the development of the Fugitive Slave Law developed during this time to attempt to appease both the North and South. It was meant to benefit the North, for example by giving them the territory of California as a "free state", a non-slave state with voting rights. And to appease the South, what became known as the Fugitive Slave Law, which obligated Northerners to return slaves who had escaped. The "irritant" is the fact that Northerners attempted to avoid repatriation and returning of the slaves, so while the South had given their concessions of territory, the North had difficulty implementing the obligatory return of slaves.<span />

During the reconstruction President, Lincoln’s plans or main topics were to Give Forgiveness to the South, the Ten Percent Plan, Thirteenth Amendment, and Freedmen’s Bureau. However, when Lincoln got reelected to start his second term John Wilkes Booth did not agree with Lincoln’s plans so Booth decided to kill Lincoln. After Lincoln died Vice President Andrew Johnson became the President. Johnson did not agree with all of the things Lincoln was trying to accomplish with the reconstruction. Johnson did agree to accept the end of slavery and to legally forgive the South. However, he did not provide aid to help former slaves (Freedmen) and he gave the states the power of their government.

 The Southerners did not agree with all of the reconstruction plans. They fought to keep the African Americans in a place where they felt they were still in slavery. Southerners did not agree with taking slavery and banning it however, with their government control they made it to where law enforcement was able to arrest African Americans and force them to work on Plantations. When voting came around Southerners did everything they could to prevent African Americans from voting. They made Poll Taxes which affected the poor people and they also made Literacy tests which affected the majority of African Americans because before the Civil War they were not given proper education. However, this also affected poor whites so the Southerners made the Grandfather clauses which stated that if before the Civil War your grandfather had full citizenship rights you were exempted from the Poll Tax and Literacy tests. This ensured poor whites could vote and the majority of African Americans were denied voting rights. I think that the reconstruction plans will eventually succeed but before they do the South will fight their hardest to ensure that African Americans feel like they are in slavery because that was the one thing the Southerners did not want to give up.

algol [13]

Answer:

The main geographical differences between the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire.

Explanation:

The Byzantine Empire was the continuation of the Roman Empire. It's sometimes called the Eastern Roman Empire. The Byzantine Empire ended due to conquest. The Roman Empire covered a larger geographical area before its division. The geographical region played an important role in Rome. Rome was built on seven hills and at the centre of the Italian peninsula. The Alps mountain helped to protect the Romans from invasion. Being located on the northern region, the Alps closed the land from the rest of Europe during winter. The Alps in winter, with snow and wind, protected Rome from outsides by forcing enemies to climb slowly through narrow paths, giving the Romans to react. In the South, the Sahara remained as the border. The Western had the Atlantic Ocean.

The Byzantine Empire became rich and flourished because of its location. Check the enemies advance from Persia and Danube. Its geographical location helped to establish in the coastal region with a trading chain with Asia and Europe.
