Answer:

The public were disappointed by his speech.

Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln was the President of the United States from March 4, 1861 to April 15, 1865. He gave his last speech on April 11, 1865. Washington was in a joyful mood because Lee had just surrendered to them, and Richmond and Petersburg had conceded defeat. The crowd on that day were expecting a a celebratory speech from Abraham Lincoln their President. He promised to give a well prepared speech later.

On April 11, 1865, the crowd were gathered to hear his speech. However, instead of a celebratory speech to thrill the crowd, President Lincoln praised the Louisiana government for supporting the enfranchisement of blacks. He then proffered that his government follow through by endorsing the right to vote for all intelligent blacks who contributed to the economy and also went to war for the country. The public were disappointed by the speech.

The Radical Republicans drafted the Reconstruction Amendments to grant equality to newly freed African Americans. However, despi
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

After ratification of the 13th amendment to the US Constitution, the main task of the radical Republicans was the adoption of the Civil Rights Bill and the development of the text of the future 14th amendment. These legislative acts were to be the next step on the way to the emancipation of the Black population of the Union. Member of the House of Representatives Thaddeus Stevens and Senator William Fessenden led the work on the 14th amendment. However, members of the Republican Party in 1866 divided on the list of those rights that it was planned to give former slaves. At the same time, the radical wing consisted of politicians who, with the help of the nation-state, wanted to guarantee the Black population equal rights in politics and equal opportunities in a free labor economy. However, conservative Republicans, for whom granting former slaves the right to vote even ten years later was a radical step, did not support this initiative. Since Stevens could not neglect the votes of the conservatives, on April 28, 1866 he submitted to the Committee on Reconstruction a text that excluded this provision. A draft of 14th amendment approved by the committee was submitted to both houses of Congress on April 30, 1866. Ratification of the 14th amendment to the US Constitution occurred on July 9, 1868, two years after its adoption by Congress. The first southern state to approve and ratify this amendment on July 9, 1866 was Tennessee. Thanks to this, on July 24, 1866, the state was reinstated as a member of the Union, and its representatives became full members of Congress. Further South Reconstruction activities covered ten former rebel states.

This amendment was a compromise that could temporarily unite representatives of different movements of the Republican Party in Congress. A radical solution to the issue of suffrage for the Black population did not find support among conservatives, and without their votes the amendment had no chance of adoption.

Many forerunners and founding fathers of America hailed from the East, American westward expansion was considered to be the hallmark because of many reasons. It all started when Thomas Jefferson bought Louisianan territory from France, he believed that for America to become a powerful block in the world, its west ward expansion is necessary.

There was vast and cheap availability of fertile lands in the west which could be used for erecting major factories and create employment opportunities that were mostly low paid in the east due to European restrictions.

Gold Rush in Oregon was an alluring factor for westward expansion. Environment in the west was compliant and the land was productive.
