Ottoman/Russian Balance of Power.
(There were a number of causes for the Crimean War. None of them particularly good. A conflict between Catholic and Orthodox Christians concerning access to the Holy places in Palestine was one. Arguably this was about Ottoman treatment of Orthodox Christians in Ottoman territory which was a concern to Russia. Inept negotiation made the situation worse.
The major players were Britain, France, and Turkey on one side and Russia on the other. Austria played an important diplomatic role. A since extinct country of Piedmont/Sardinia also sent troops.
Russia lost but the bungling on both sides made the war a gong show from the beginning. Arguably the the issues at stake had been decided before the Crimean portion of the conflict even started. The War was by then pointless homicidal idiocy.
It was an important precursor in the next balance of power moves that created Italy and Germany.)
Answer:
Reconstruction (1865-1877), the turbulent era following the Civil War, was the effort to reintegrate Southern states from the Confederacy and 4 million newly-freed slaves into the United States. Under the administration of President Andrew Johnson in 1865 and 1866, new southern state legislatures passed restrictive “black codes” to control the labor and behavior of former slaves and other African Americans. Outrage in the North over these codes eroded support for the approach known as Presidential Reconstruction and led to the triumph of the more radical wing of the Republican Party. During Radical Reconstruction, which began with the passage of the Reconstruction Act of 1867, newly enfranchised blacks gained a voice in government for the first time in American history, winning election to southern state legislatures and even to the U.S. Congress. In less than a decade, however, reactionary forces–including the Ku Klux Klan–would reverse the changes wrought by Radical Reconstruction in a violent backlash that restored white supremacy in the South.
