It limited the port for American trade in China.
I) The Reconstruction Era and the 1950s and 60s weren't as different as they should be. With different degrees, racism and segregation persisted in XXth century America. African-Americans still couldn't fully exercise their rights as the whites did theirs, and they still suffered violence from white supremacists and authorities.
II) The differences rest in how African-Americans in the 50s and 60s were better mobilized and prepared to defend themselves and fight for their rights. Despite continuous racism, in the 50s and 60s there was more space and sources from which racism could be fought against. There was NAACP, for example, and many public figures famous for fighting racism.
III) From this comparison, we see that one of the Reconstruction's successes was the foundation for legal disputes in favor of African-Americans rights, like the 14th Amendment and the 15th Amendment that provided the legal basis to fight racism and to expand African-americans rights. As for Reconstruction's failures, it didn't dismantle racist structures in the South and didn't succeed in changing culturally how black people were seen, leaving space for racism in its many forms like lynchings and segregation.
Frank Sinatra was the focus of the 1st documented example of modern pop hysteria, in the so-called Columbus day riot of 1944.
the Populists simply wanted more money in circulation as they believed this would raise the price of the crops. I was always curious as to "who" advised them of this policy as it would lead to inflation.
I hope this helps and best of luck,
The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States ('XIV Amendment') is one of the post-Civil War amendments, and includes, among others, the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause. It was proposed on June 13, 1866, and ratified on July 9, 1868.
The amendment provides a broad definition of national citizenship, which overrides the decision of Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), who had excluded slaves and their descendants, from possessing constitutional rights. It requires states to provide equal protection before the law to all persons (not just citizens) within their jurisdictions. The importance of the Fourteenth Amendment was exemplified when it was interpreted to prohibit racial segregation in public schools in the Brown v. Case. Board of Education.
