It is first important to understand that not all Republicans rejected a peace settlement with the Confederates during or after the Civil War, but it was a smaller group within the party that totally and completely refused and demanded a full surrender without conditions to the South. This group was called the Radical Republicans and they began around 1854 and went until after the Reconstruction of 1877. They were the ones who were responsible for the establishment of the Fourteenth Ammendment and they radically opposed any negotiations with the South on the basis of their being totally against segregation and slavery. Some other factions within the Republican party, including Lincoln, were more moderate and were willing to give in to some of the demands from the Confederates, especially ont he issue of slaves.
The reason for these radical Republicans not wanting to negotiate with the Southern Confederates, was that they refused to allow slavery to continue. They were pushing for all slaves in the U.S to be freed, for segregation to be prohibited, for rights for black people to be established in the United States and even went as far as pushing for civil rights, including suffrage, for African Americans. But the South, of course, refused these terms. This is why neither Radical Republicans, nor Confederate members would have been able to settle anything in a negotiation. There was no common ground for the toughest issue of all; slavery.
THE MAKING OF A NATION – a program in Special English on the Voice of America.
The 1920s are remembered today as a quiet period in American foreign policy. The nation was at peace. The Republican presidents in the White House generally were more interested in economic growth at home than in relations with foreign countries.
But the world had changed. The United States had become a world power. It was tied to other countries by trade, politics, and joint interests. And America had gained new economic strength.
Before World War One, foreigners invested more money in the United States than Americans invested in other countries -- about three thousand million dollars more. The war changed this. By 1919, Americans had almost three thousand million dollars more invested in other countries than foreign citizens had invested in the United States.
American foreign investments continued to increase greatly during the 1920s.
Increased foreign investment was not the only sign of growing American economic power. By the end of World War One, the United States produced more goods and services than any other nation, both in total and per person.
