I) The Reconstruction Era and the 1950s and 60s weren't as different as they should be. With different degrees, racism and segregation persisted in XXth century America. African-Americans still couldn't fully exercise their rights as the whites did theirs, and they still suffered violence from white supremacists and authorities.

II) The differences rest in how African-Americans in the 50s and 60s were better mobilized and prepared to defend themselves and fight for their rights. Despite continuous racism, in the 50s and 60s there was more space and sources from which racism could be fought against. There was NAACP, for example, and many public figures famous for fighting racism.

III) From this comparison, we see that one of the Reconstruction's successes was the foundation for legal disputes in favor of African-Americans rights, like the 14th Amendment and the 15th Amendment that provided the legal basis to fight racism and to expand African-americans rights. As for Reconstruction's failures, it didn't dismantle racist structures in the South and didn't succeed in changing culturally how black people were seen, leaving space for racism in its many forms like lynchings and segregation.

What historic African region was known for
IgorLugansk [536]

Question:

→What historic African region was known for  working with iron to create weapons and tools?

Answer:

→ Nok culture of Nigeria

Explanation:

→Iron smelting and forging technologies may have existed in West Africa among the Nok culture of Nigeria as early as the sixth century B.C. In the period from 1400 to 1600, iron technology appears to have been one of a series of fundamental social assets that facilitated the growth of significant centralized kingdoms in the western Sudan and along the Guinea coast of West Africa. The fabrication of iron tools and weapons allowed for the kind of extensive systematized agriculture, efficient hunting, and successful warfare necessary to sustain large urban centers.
