<span>Civil War Amendments are amendments to the U.S Constitution adopted just 5 years after the U.S Civil War. The amendments are important for the Reconstruction of the formerly Confederate states. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, and it riled White Nationalists to this day. The 14th Amendment strengthened citizenship rights and protections for all persons, men and women. The 15th Amendment prohibits discrimination in voting rights on the basis of race, sex, or history of slavery, and so provided basis for Women’s Suffrage. These Amendments expanded voting and citizenship rights to women and African Americans.</span>

Which of the following was a result of the Ku Klux Klan’s campaign of violence
PIT_PIT [208]
Founded in 1865, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for Black Americans. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and Black Republican leaders. Though Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal–the reestablishment of white supremacy–fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s.

After a period of decline, white Protestant nativist groups revived the Klan in the early 20th century, burning crosses and staging rallies, parades and marches denouncing immigrants, Catholics, Jews, African Americans and organized labor. The civil rights movement of the 1960s also saw a surge of Ku Klux Klan activity, including bombings of Black schools and churches and violence against Black and white activists in the South. From 1867 onward, Black participation in public life in the South became one of the most radical aspects of Reconstruction, as Black people won election to southern state governments and even to the U.S. Congress. For its part, the Ku Klux Klan dedicated itself to an underground campaign of violence against Republican leaders and voters (both Black and white) in an effort to reverse the policies of Radical Reconstruction and restore white supremacy in the South. They were joined in this struggle by similar organizations such as the Knights of the White Camelia (launched in Louisiana in 1867) and the White Brotherhood.

At least 10 percent of the Black legislators elected during the 1867-1868 constitutional conventions became victims of violence during Reconstruction, including seven who were killed. White Republicans (derided as “carpetbaggers” and “scalawags”) and Black institutions such as schools and churches—symbols of Black autonomy—were also targets for Klan attacks. Hope this helps!

How did the free soil party intend to win more votes in the 1848 election?
pantera1 [17]
The Free Soil candidates won 10% of the popular vote in 1848 but no electoral votes, in part because the nomination of Van Buren discouraged many anti-slavery Whigs from supporting them. ... The Compromise of 1850 temporarily neutralized the issue of slavery and undercut the party's no-compromise position.
