Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
The first test case for Reconstruction took place on Sea Island or Port Royal in South Carolina in 1861, where the Union Army tried to redistribute land to the freedmen.
We are talking about a moment in the history of the United States in 1861, when the Union Army invaded and capture Sea Island, in South Carolina. There they established a project called "Port Royal Experiment." The Union made this place a work center for former slaves that worked the farm fields that had been left behind by southern landlords. Historians think that 9000 to 10,000 black people stayed on the island when white people abandon it due to the Civil War.
The European colonization had devastating impact on Native Americans due to environmental changes and the introduction of diseases:
- The introduction of European weapons linked to the popularity of beavers led to overhunting. <u>Overhunting led to the extinction of beavers which affected the ecosystem as a whole. Europeans also brought pigs to the new land that ended up eating the foods deers and other animals depended on leading to scarcity.</u>
- <u>Europeans brought with them diseases (such as smallpox) that the native population were NOT immune to which resulted in a great number of deaths. The high mortality rate of the older population meant the loss of both tradition and knowledge.</u>
The second group of southern states seceded after the attack at Fort Sumter. Four additional states left at this time. These states left because they had concerns about what would happen to slavery now that the fighting had begun. They waited until the Civil War began before leaving the Union.’!!!!!!!!!!
