After the death of United States’ president Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson replaces him being the Vice President and was eager to restore the Union.  He then issued an amnesty proclaiming that he will return confiscated property to those Southern citizens who will swore loyalty oaths.

President Andrew Johnson ordered that the lands be returned to their original owners (the plantation owners).

Johnson's approach was a major disappointment to those who had hoped for land distribution to former slaves to help the newly freed black community establish itself economically.  Johnson was taking a soft or moderate approach to Reconstruction, which granted pardons to most white Southerners and allowed them to reestablish their own governments, without any role in that process for the newly freed slaves.  There were others who had wanted a more aggressive approach to Reconstruction that would have punished Southern slave owners more, and would have made arrangements for freed slaves to become property owners.

President Johnson's Amnesty Proclamation, issued May 29, 1865, authorized "restoration of all rights of property" to Southern rebels (except the former 'property' of slaves themselves), as long as those Southerners pledged an oath of their allegiance to the United States government .

Why were Americans susceptible to fear-based politics in the early 1950s?
Temka [501]

Answer:

In the 1950s, Americans were afraid of communism because of the widespread belief that communist ideology would infect the country and persuade citizens to turn against democracy and capitalism. This rampant fear and suspicion caused many people to dread not only communism, but being accused of communist sympathies themselves. Americans also feared communism in the form of the Soviet Union, a communist, rival country which had proven itself a viable military threat through its nuclear weapons program.

How and why did the position of Women in American society change in the period from 1877-1914? What are some of the factors that
aksik [14]

This years saw an extreme transformation of the role of women in American society for several reasons. The first reason was the process of industrialization, which in turn led to the process of urbanization. As industrialization became more common in the United States, factories and large businesses began to be built. This made the process of manufacturing less physically demanding, allowing women and children to operate machinery. This gave women the chance of working outside of the home and earn independent wages, something that had been very uncommon in the past. Work and wages gave women a sense of independence.

On the other hand, urbanization also led to women's liberation. In rural contexts, women were more tightly controlled by their parents, and then their husbands. There were few activities outside of the home, and domesticity was the accepted norm. With urbanization came a different lifestyle. Women had disposable income and were able to enjoy what the city had to offer, such as private housing and certain types of entertainment (like theatre).

The changing role of women during these years led to a growing sense of independence and a desire for freedom and equality. This gave rise to movements such as the suffrage movement, and the movement for equal wages.  Women were very important in the labor and reform movements of the following years. All of these events were very important to the development of feminism.
