Answer:

Founded in 1865, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party's Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged an underaround campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders.

Explanation:

The original Klu Klux Klan was founded in Pulaski, Tennessee on December 24, 1865 by former Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, and other war veterans on the losing side of the Civil War, as a backlash during the Reconstruction period when people in the southern states were forced to change their lives.

Free slaves who dared to leave the plantation and even land speculators from the north (Carpetbaggers) were hunted, as they considered that the land in the south would be owned by those who lived there. Terrorism and murder were the methods.

The clan was dissolved by Ulysses S. Grant in the early 1870s through the Civil Rights Act of 1871.

When the Union withdrew its troops in 1876, the clan gained power in many states, and could instead use politics to oppress the dark-skinned population.

How did the growth of the Jamestown colonies impact relations with Native Americans?​
vampirchik [111]
Increasing cultivation of tobacco required more land and clearing forest areas to make land fit for planting. Expanding English settlements meant more encroachment on Native American lands and somewhat greater contact with Native Americans.

The wartime alliance between the united states and the soviet union unraveled into a worldwide rivalry that lasted 46 years. wha
Artemon [7]

The correct answer is - Cold War.

The rivalry between the two biggest powerhouses in the world, the United States and the Soviet Union, was known as the Cold War. The Cold War period is a period of great rivalry, tension, threats, arms race, space race, technological race, pretty much direct and intense competition in everything in order to prove the world, and the opponent, that they are the better one, the strongest one.

Luckily, this 46 year long period, even though with few situations being right on the edge, didn't resulted in another war, because if it did, it was going to be much worse than the World War II by far.

zysi [14]

Answer:

What continued was the shared religon between China and India, well India mostly, of Bhuddism. Bhuddism stayed and is still a common religious practice to this day. Another thing that continued is the Egyption and chinese farming technique for fertile farmland. They both developed, egypt and ancient china near rivers and they took advantage of that. We see that today in china, where they use the yangtze river, yellow river etc. Also mesopotamia, china, and egypt both developed a language, in which china and egypt used pictograms and mesopotamia developed the first written language; cunieform. Languages are a big part of society today. What changed was the overall shape and meaning of a civilization and society, mesopotamia, because they developed the division of labor in which people had to work. It's also to note that mesopotamia invented and created many great finding and inventions, ex the wheel and how to do metal work.
