White Southerners used several different techniques to deny blacks from getting justice during the era of Reconstruction.

For example, Southern state governments implement things like literacy tests. This made it mandatory for citizens to pass a reading test before voting. This kept thousands of blacks from voting as many of them never had the chance to attend school, leaving them without the ability to read. Other laws included ones like grandfather clauses. This stated that an individual could only vote in an election of their grandfather was able to vote. Again, before Reconstruction, African American men were not allowed to vote. This made it so that African Americans were denied their constitutionally protected right to vote.

Drag and drop events in Indochina leading up to the Vietnam War. Put them in the correct order from the most distant past (at th

Alecsey [184]

The correct order of the events is:

1. France colonizes Indochina;

2. France fights communist forces in Indochina;

3. France and the United States support an unpopular government in South Vietnam;

4. Vietnamese communists declare independence.;

5. France recognizes an independent North Vietnam;

France managed to colonize Vietnam, as well as other parts of Indochina in a very well planned, and gradual, systematic taking over. After some time, the nations in Indochina, including Vietnam, started to rebel against the French, thus multiple battles occurred. The forces fighting for liberation of Vietnam were mostly with a communist ideology. The French, as well as the USA, were supporting an unpopular traditional leader of Vietnam, which didn't really helped their cause, apart from managing to extend their influence in part of Vietnam a bit longer. The communist where victorious though, and they managed to gain full control of North Vietnam. The French had no other option than recognizing North Vietnam, and avoid further troubles.

Why did President Truman decide to use atomic bombs against Japan in 1945?

sleet_krkn [62]

<span>President Truman decided to use the bomb for many reasons. Having not knowledge about the existence of the bomb until his presidency, he saw it as a new weapon developed by the US and that should be used for that purpose. Secondly, Truman wanted to avoid an invasion of Japan because it would be extremely costly, difficult, and simply horrible. It also meant the loss of many more American lives since the Japanese attacks were so brutal. Truman hoped that the use of the bomb would and it's astonishing effects would be enough for Japan to surrender and they would not have to invade them. Lastly, Truman wanted to use it to show the soviets of it's power for post world war II policies. I personally believe that Truman did the right thing. It was evident in all the battles in the pacific that Japan was extremely stubborn and would do anything but admit defeat. Just taking over the underpopulated islands on the way to Japan was very difficult because of the Japanese's tireless efforts. I think that the only way to make them surrender was to scare them into a surrender. The back and forth combat wasn't completely useless but exhausting and would make the war last longer than needed.The Japanese were so focused on fighting and trying to harm us, that they trained their soldiers to die in the desperate kamikaze attacks. I really don't think that invading their homeland would lead to a surrender or end to the war. Not only would they not surrender, but many american lives would be lost in the process unnecessarily. The bomb was ready, and functional.</span>
