Answer:

Congress passed the Enforcement Acts between 1870 and 1875 to protect African American's political rights.

Explanation:

The Enforcement Acts were a series of three laws passed by Congress between 1870 and 1871.

They were criminal codes designed to protect the voting rights of African Americans, to perform their duties, to serve in juries and to receive equal protection of the laws. Under the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant, the laws also allowed the federal government to intervene when states did not act to protect those rights.

These acts were passed after the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, which gave full citizenship to any person born in the United States with no distinction of race, and the Fifteenth Amendment, which prohibited racial discrimination in voting. Until that time, the lives of all newly liberated slaves, as well as their political and economic rights, were threatened. This threat led to the promulgation of these laws.

Answer:

HISTORY and LA: Journal: A Day in the Life of a Métis Teen

Introduction:

The name of the metis is Isabella. She is a girl who’s age is 16. She lives in the vast territory of Rupert's land (long before the Hudson’s Bay company took over the land and sold it to Canada in 1869. She is a little bit humorous and enjoys nature so much! Isabella loves learning more and more information, arts etc. She also is an Introvert who likes her own space more. And is interested to communicate with herself by writing her thoughts in a book. More like talking with the book.

Journal Entry:

We, who live in the west, were Nomadic. So we always moved from place to place to hunt buffalo and other fur-bearing animals. And now again we have to shift everything we collected , like, all the essential needs we collected. It’s really hard to shift stuff, But when you move to a new place you get to see new beautiful places. They are just so satisfying to see! It’s like all my work(like the shifting work) is paid off. I love it! We always meet the Hudson’s bay company employees, and give them furs which we took from the bissons and other furry animals we hunted. And in exchange they give us their (Hudson’s Bay company) goods. Which is good! Because then we or I won't be able to enjoy that delicious pemmican!

 The one reason that makes me proud of my parents is that because of them I am like a translator for both sides in the fur trade! Anyways coming back to the present. As I said before, we were moving today to another place, But on the way some people along with my father will ride the famous York boats carrying supplies to fur posts. I begged my father to take me with him! And as usual he gave me some silly reason for me to stay. And now since I don’t have anything to do I will-..Nevermind, My mom’s calling me. Okay after helping my mom keep the fur posts into the York boats me , my mom, and the others are just relaxing and enjoying nature just to take a break. Since, I am so obsessed with my Journal notebook today I’m just going to sit here and right what comes to my mind. I’m not like the others who always seem to be talking with someone. I like my own space! 

I kind of miss my dad already, but he and his fellow members need to travel the waterways from the red river further west and north to hudson bay. These red river carts also travel the trek back and forth over land to St. Paul, Minnesota and to posts in saskatchewan.  Speaking about the red river, the only large settlement in the region is the red colony. About 12000 people lived in this colony around Fort Garry. Some were the original Selkirk settlers or their descendents. They had come from Scotland with lord Selkirk when he established the colony in 1811. Many of these original settlers were poor farmers who had been displaced  from their lands in scotland. They had endured many hardships in the early years of settlement, including foods, hunger, and sickness. I love studying about other colonies, cultures , history etc.
