How did the course of Reconstruction change when the Radical Republicans took control of Congress?

History

nalin [4]3 years ago

Answer:

Reconstruction was the period in American history that began after the Civil War, in which the federal government and the northern states set their sights on the reintegration of the southern states into the Union.

Initially, this period was led by President Lincoln, who was assassinated a month after starting his second term, being replaced by his vice president, Andrew Johnson. Both presidents had in mind a gradual, progressive and delicate reintegration of the southern states, trying that all the actions to be carried out did not imply in any way a return of violence or political unrest in the former Confederate states.

The problem arose when a group of republicans of radical ideology began to oppose these light measures, seeking to guarantee greater rights to African-Americans and to impose greater demands and limitations on southern states. Furthermore, given the Democratic character of President Johnson, this group did not support him in the least. Thus, once Congress was filled with Radical Republicans, tougher measures began to be taken against the South, such as the adoption of three constitutional amendments, the military occupation of the South, or the demand of oaths of loyalty to high percentages of the population of the southern states to re-admit them into the Union.

In addition to Jews, Roma, the disabled, political and religious dissenters, and homosexuals were targeted in the _______.
FinnZ [79.3K]

1. Holocaust

2. Final Solution

3. Nuremberg Race Laws

4. Josef Stalin

5. Rationing  

6. Scrap metal  

7. Japanese

8. Before the Holocaust, Germany passed the Nuremberg Race Laws, which stripped Jews of their citizenship. Once deprived of their status as citizens, the Nazis proceeded to relocate Jews into ghettos and target their businesses for destruction, before removing them to concentration camps to perform forced labor. Eventually, the labor camps became extermination camps.  

9. The sheer scale of civilian casualties was different from any previous war. Civilians were targeted, and their deaths outnumbered military deaths. Technology like the atomic bomb or airplanes increased the threat to civilians. Similar to WWI, women stepped into occupations and roles that had previously been performed by men. Also, like WWI, WWII was a total war. The mass extermination of Jews, political and religious dissenters, Roma, and other peoples was unprecedented.  

10. Based on the scale of civilian deaths, particularly the brutality of the Nazis and Japanese, students might rationalize the dropping of the bombs, agreeing that the conflict needed to be stopped at all costs. On the other hand, students may also perceive the dropping of the atomic bombs as just as ethically problematic since it, too, was a mass killing of civilians. Students may point to the Japanese internment camps as further evidence that the Allies, specifically the United States, acted out of prejudice.

torisob [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

I tend to side with those who think civil liberties are extremely important; they are almost written in stone. They were put in the constitution to protect citizens from governments misusing their power. The government is so much more power than any one person and perhaps any one group. Moreover, they make the laws. The Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments) are meant to make sure citizens at least have the opportunity to exercise those rights.

However there are times when the rights go a little to far. Numerous times since 1968, introduced various proposals that attempted to protect the rights of the American Flag. On those occasions either congress or the Supreme Court protected the individual by saying burning the flag comes under the First Amendment -- freedom of expression.

My own opinion is that many people have died defending the flag. I don't know that free speech is more powerful than the right to burn a sacred symbol. I think there are limits to free speech.
