The correct answer is D) African Americans won Congressional and state legislative representation from Southern states.

During the era of Reconstruction, African-American received the right to vote thanks to the 15th amendment. Since African-Americans received the right to vote, they now had the opportunity to vote for any candidate they wanted. Due to this new found freedom, many African-American males ran for positions in government. This resulted in the election of the African American Senators  like Hiram Revels and Blanche K Bruce.

Answer:  D) African Americans won Congressional and state legislative representation from Southern states.

Explanation: African Americans won Congressional and state legislative representation from Southern states is the correct answer. Over 600 seats in Southern legislatures went to African Americans in the 1870s, while 16 House and 2 Senate positions did. This trend would quickly fade away in the 1880s.

Alona [7]

Answer:

A) that states had the constitutional right to secede from the United States

Explanation:

James Buchanan was the 15th president of USA. It was during his presidency that seven southern states seceded from the Union and brought the nation on the brink of civil war.  

He was from Pennsylvania and began his career in Pennsylvania state's legislature. He  later served in both the houses of the U.S congress.

Buchanan was a democrat and he morally opposed slavery while believing that it was supported by the US constitution.. He got elected to the White House in 1856.

He tried to maintain peace between the anti and pro slavery factions in the government.<u><em>  In 1856 general election Buchanan supported the idea that slavery was an issue to be decide by the individual territories and states while his challenger John Fremont asserted that the federal  government should bad slavery in all the territories.</em></u>

He did not seek reelection after his first term as president but he proposed that sates did not have the right to secede and he had no constitutional power to stop them. The slavery crisis was left for the Lincoln administration to resolve.

How did the U.S. annex the Philippines? Why did a
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Annexation of the Philippines

There were several arguments put forth as to why the United States should annex the Philippines following the Spanish-American War. Shrewd propagandists, like Teddy Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge, and others who wanted the US to become an imperialistic power, claimed that it was the duty of the "White race" to govern "inferior" peoples and bring them the joys of civilization. It was also believed among the military and commercial interests that if the US did not annex the islands, then Japan or Germany would take them and control them for their own military and economic advancement. Some Americans actually believed it would be best for the nation, it would unite the country following the war which divided some, if the Philippines were annexed to the US. President McKinley seemed to think it was right to annex the Philippines because the United States had already annexed lands prior to the war--namely, Hawaii. Commercial, military, and imperials all favored annexation.
