Was congressional reconstruction more about racial equality or political power?

History
1 answer:
inna [77]3 years ago
7 0

It could be argued that Congressional Reconstruction was more about political power than racial equality. Even though Congressional Reconstruction is going to help African-Americans gain new freedoms in American society, it is ultimately based on the Northern Republicans desire for political power. Many members of the Republican Party, known as Radical Republicans, wanted to punish the South for their role in starting the Civil War. In this case, the Radical Republicans wanted to ensure that after this war, the individuals who lead the secession movement in the Southern states would not gain power. This is why many Republicans refused to include newly elected Southerners in Congressional affairs during the Reconstruction period.

Why does Churchill believe an invasion of British soil is not likely to occur in the near future?
andreev551 [17]
Hello!

Churchill believes that an invasion of British soil is not likely to occur in the near future because the enemy would have to cross the heavily guarded sea to get there. 

In his famous speech, "Their finest hour", given on 1940, Churchill said that for the Germans to cross the English Channel, they would need to have a large armada, that would be "intercepted long before it reaches the coast". There would be many obstacles in the way of an invading Navy, such as minefields, air bombings and the British Navy itself.
