The correct answer is Option D) Treatment during the great hunger or Irish potato famine .

The Irish Potato Famine is known as the 'Great Famine' or Great Hunger in Ireland and describes a period between 1845-1849 when potato crops in Ireland failed.

Over two-fifths of the population of Ireland relied on Potato farming and when the crops failed, it led to mass hunger, starvation and even deaths.

Things were made worse when the British government did not readily help the Irish. The famine led to the deaths of over 1 million people and as a result over 1 million people emigrated to other parts of the world.

One of the most controversial policies of the UK was to allow the export of food stuffs from Ireland to other parts of the country.

Many historians believe that if the export was banned, like it was done over a century ago, many lives could have been saved.

Consider social, political, and economic equality. In what ways did Radical Reconstruction address and secure these forms of equ

katrin [286]

The Reconstruction tried to generate opportunities to end the segregation between white Americans and African Americans in the Southern States by giving them job opportunities and voting rights so they could be elected into important political roles.

During the Reconstruction African Americans were able to enjoy family bonds and tried to make a way for former slaves buying land to cultivate.

The problem was that the way Reconstruction was imposed created a brutal reaction in southern whites, that believed that they were stripped of their liberty, because of that many became committed to keeping blacks in a subservient position. With the election of President Johnson Reconstruction changed and the land was returned to white landowners which avoided land redistribution in the South.

The sharecropping system was a way of maintaining those ex-slaves and African Americans dependent on the landowners, it limited economic development and ensured that the South remained an agricultural location.

As we can see, the Reconstruction fell short of accomplishing its objectives because at the end it caused resentment in the Southern states, which backfired in the Black Codes and the creation of a series of white supremacy groups.

The US constitution differs from the Articles of Confederation because of the power that the federal government has. In the articles, each state acted as it's own country. They had the ability to command a military, declare war, and tax terrifs against other states. The constitution has the states act as subordinates to the federal government. They have the right to tax citizens, but their power and their ability to interact with other countries are strictly regulated through the federal government.
