After the Mexican-American War, the main issue which broke party unity and divided Congress largely along sectional lines was the issue of the expansion of slavery into the territories that previously belonged to Mexico. As a result of the war, the United States was able to acquire large amounts of territory. However, these territories now needed to decide whether to allow slavery or not. This was a delicate issue, as it could upset the balance of power in the Union.

jeka94

Answer:

. After slavery, state governments across the South instituted laws known as Black Codes. These laws granted certain legal rights to blacks, including the right to marry, own property, and sue in court

. Family, church, and school became centers of black life after slavery. The Freedmen’s Bureau (1865-1870), a government agency established to aid former slaves, oversaw some 3,000 schools across the South and ran hospitals and healthcare facilities for the freedmen.

. From the late 1860s white supremacists in the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) terrorized African American leaders and citizens in the South until, in 1871, the US Congress passed legislation that resulted in the arrest and imprisonment of Klan leaders and the end of the Klan’s terrorism of Americans for a time.
