Why did the U.S. government “militarize” the South during Radical Reconstruction?

1 answer:

4 0

The U.S government militarized the South because they wanted to oversee the election and registration of voters. Only after new state constitutions had been written and states had ratified the Fourteenth Amendment could these states rejoin the Union. Predictably, President Johnson vetoed the Reconstruction Acts, viewing them as both unnecessary and unconstitutional. Once again, Congress overrode Johnson’s vetoes, and by the end of 1870, all the southern states under military rule had ratified the Fourteenth Amendment and been restored to the Union.

How did the fear of nuclear technology change the lives of Americans?

Tom [10]

The fear of nuclear technology changed the lives of Americans because it makes them be more cautious in different matters like constructing a basement on their homes prepared to support a nuclear bomb or attack. Or train how to react in case that a nuclear attack comes, not only physically but psychologically. It makes the scientists study and learn how to cure or treat several effects of nuclear attacks or accidents on people. It makes the whole society get prepared as much as they can in order not only to prevent an accident but also to treat an react as better as they can after one event like this.
