I believe you answer would be the first one, as they were a joint-stock company that created new settlements.

Predict what events/actions will be central to the Reconstruction time period. Use evidence from the image to support your claim

gregori [183]

This political cartoon ("Awkward Collision on the Grand Trunk Columbia") depicts a staunch President Andrew Johnson and Congressman Thaddeus Stevens are having a standoff between the two trains, "President," and "Congress."

You can barely see it, but at the bottom of the political cartoon it says:

[ A.J. (Driver of Engine ‘President’) – “Look here! One of us has got to back." Thaddeus (Driver of Engine ‘Congress’) – "Well, it ain’t me that going to do it – you bet!” ]

Johnson and Stevens both had a staunch position on their reconstruction policies, and were unwilling to compromise, this eventually led to Johnson's impeachment.

** Background information about Thaddeus Stevens:

Thaddeus Stevens was considered a radicial republican during the reconstruction era, and he was an early critic of Johnson's plan for reconstruction (he eventually became the leader in the effort to impeach Johnson).

**

Stevens was an advocate of treating southern states as "conquered provinces." He encouraged strong, sweeping action by the federal government to revolutionize the institutions and culture that bolstered white supremacy in the south.

Stevens supported the 14th amendment and an unsuccessful plan to confiscate plantations and redistribute the land to former slaves.

Johnson's plan was similar to Lincoln's, except he wanted 10% of the southerners (that voted in 1860) to give an oath of loyalty to him. Basically, Johnson's reconstruction plan was to eventually forgive the Confederates of their war crimes. 

** More information about Johnson's reconstruction plan:

The Confederate states were required to uphold the 13th Amendment, swear loyalty to the Union, and pay off their war debt. Then they would rewrite their state constitutions, hold elections, and begin sending representatives to Washington. Under the plan, Confederate leaders would have to apply directly to President Johnson in order to request pardon. Johnson's last pardon was given to former President Jefferson Davis (of the Confederacy) on December 25th, 1868.

Summarize the mcdonald vs chicago case

Gala2k [10]

McDonald v. City of Chicago, case in which on June 28, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled (5–4) that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,” applies to state and local governments as well as to the federal government.

The case arose in 2008, when Otis McDonald, a retired African American custodian, and others filed suit in U.S. District Court to challenge provisions of a 1982 Chicago law that, among other things, generally banned the new registration of handguns and made registration a prerequisite of possession of a firearm. The next day the National Rifle Association and others filed separate lawsuits challenging the Chicago law and an Oak Park, Ill., law that generally prohibited the possession or carrying of handguns and the carrying of other firearms except rifles or shotguns in one’s home or place of business. Each suit alleged that the law violated the right of individuals to possess and carry weapons, which the Supreme Court had found to be protected by the Second Amendment in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008). (Anticipating this finding, the plaintiffs in McDonald v. City of Chicago filed suit on the same morning that the decision in Heller was announced.) The crucial question, however, was whether the Second Amendment is applicable to the states and their political subdivisions. Citing “selective incorporation,” the Supreme Court’s gradual application to the states of most of the protections of the Bill of Rights through the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment (which prohibits the states from denying life, liberty, or property without due process of law), the plaintiffs argued that the Second Amendment is applicable through that clause as well as through the amendment’s “privileges or immunities” clause (which forbids the states from abridging the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States)
