History

ElenaW [278]3 years ago

While the United States began conventional bombing of Japan as early as 1942, the mission did not begin in earnest until mid-1944. Between April 1944 and August, 1945, an estimated 333,000 Japanese people were killed and 473,000 more wounded in air raids. A single firebombing attack on Tokyo in March 1945 killed more than 80,000 people. Truman later remarked, “Despite their heavy losses at Okinawa and the firebombing of Tokyo, the Japanese refused to surrender. The saturation bombing of Japan took much fiercer tolls and wrought far and away more havoc than the atomic bomb. Far and away. The firebombing of Tokyo was one of the most terrible things that ever happened, and they didn't surrender after that although Tokyo was almost completely destroyed.”

In August 1945, it was clear that conventional bombing was not effective.

What could Americans do in the late 1860's, as they debated plans for Reconstruction, to balance the demands of healing and just
inn [45]

The thing that Americans could do in the late 1860's, as they debated plans for Reconstruction, to balance the demands of healing and justice is to define new relationships between African Americans and whites.

<h3>What is Reconstruction?</h3>

Its main focus was on bringing the southern states back into full political participation in the Union, guaranteeing rights to former slaves and defining new relationships between African Americans and whites.

The Reconstruction era, which lasted from 1865 to 1877 after the American Civil War, saw the country struggle to decide how to treat African Americans legally and to reintegrate the seceded states into the Union.

Restoration of the Union, reform of southern society, and adoption of progressive laws promoting the rights of emancipated slaves were the three main goals of reconstruction. It should be noted that the black voters were not allowed to bite before this period due to cessation of federal intervention in southern issues.

Therefore, defining new relationships between African Americans and whites will have been helpful.
