The correct answer is C) the Reconstruction Era.

Indeed, during the Reconstruction Era (1863-1877); white Southerners were especially aggravated and oppose to the occupation of the South by the Union army, the enfranchisement of African-American citizens and the election of African Americans to positions of political power that gave them ascendancy over white southerners. The Democrats had not won an election during 20 years and back then, the Democratic party, notably its southern Bourbon Democrat component was the party of slavery, racial discrimination and social (and later legal) discrimination towards black Americans.

The 1876 presidential elections saw Republican Candidate Rutherford Hayes oppose Northern Democrat Samuel Tilden for the office of POTUS. Tilden won the popular vote as well as the electoral vote  but the fact was that four states in the South had inconclusive results  due to death threats and intimidation towards African American voters who always voted Republican.

There was a constitutional crisis and southerners were threatening with armed insurrection if Hayes was sworn in as POTUS. During meetings behind closed doors, a deal was struck. Democrats accepted Hayes as president and in exchange occupation Union troops were withdrawn from the South, leaving southern African Americans vulnerable to reprisals, discrimination, social segregation and subjugation by Southern white democrats.  This was called the 1877 Compromise which effectively ended the Reconstruction Era. This situation is the one described by this cartoon. Tilden was not sworn in as president and the blood of another southern insurrection was not spilled.

What is a characteristic of free speech under the First Amendment?
Gnoma [55]

Answer: Hello There!!

<em>
</em><em>Key Points</em>

<em>The Bill of Right’s provision on the freedom of speech was incorporated against the states in Gitlow v. New York (1925).</em>

<em>Core political speech, expressive speech, and most types of commercial speech are protected under the First Amendment.</em>

<em>Certain types of speech (particularly, speech that can h.arm others) is not protected, such as obscenity, fighting words, true threats,  defamation, or invasion of privacy. Speech related to national security or state secrets may also not be protected.

</em><em>Freedom of Speech
</em><em>Freedom of speech in the United States is protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and by many state constitutions as well.</em>

<em />

<em>The freedom of speech is not absolute. The Supreme Court of the United States has recognized several categories of speech that are excluded, and it has recognized that governments may enact reasonable time, place, or manner restrictions on speech.</em>

<em />

<em>Critici-m of the government and advocacy of unpopular ideas that people may find distasteful or against public policy are almost always permitted. There are exceptions to these general protections. Within these limited areas, other limitations on free speech balance rights to free speech and other rights, such as rights for authors and inventors over their works and discoveries (copyright and patent), protection from imminent or potential violence against particular persons (restrictions on fighting words), or the use of untruths to harm others. Distinctions are often made between speech and other acts which may have symbolic significance.The freedom of speech is not absolute. The Supreme Court of the United States has recognized several categories of speech that are excluded, and it has recognized that governments may enact reasonable time, place, or manner restrictions on speech.
