<span>Grains, as a whole, remain an
important part of the Russian economy. The types of grains produced,
however, vary with changes in demand and environmental conditions. Some
grains, such as oats, supported Russia economically in the past, but
grow in much smaller quantities. While grains export in highest
quantities from Russia, legumes follow close behind. Hardy and resilient
legumes, including potatoes and beets, prove ideally suited for
Russia's cold climates and sub-par soils. Potatoes thrive at Russia's
northernmost locations, primarily regions between 50 and 60 degrees
latitude. Russian potatoes provide citizens with food and nutrients, and
support vodka production as well. </span>

After the Civil War, 4 million former slaves were looking for social equality and economic opportunity. It wasn't clear initially whether they would enjoy full-fledged citizenship or would be subjugated by the white population.
In the 1860s, it was the Republican Party in Washington — the home of former abolitionists — that sought to grant legal rights and social equality to African-Americans in the South. The Republicans — then dubbed radical Republicans — managed to enact a series of constitutional amendments and reconstruction acts granting legal equality to former slaves — and giving them access to federal courts if their rights were violated.
The 13th Amendment, which was ratified in 1865, abolished slavery. Three years later, the 14th Amendment provided blacks with citizenship and equal protection under the law. And in 1870, the 15th Amendment gave black American males the right to vote.
Five years later, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1875, a groundbreaking federal law proposed by Republican Sen. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, which guaranteed that everyone in the United States was "entitled to the full and equal enjoyment" of public accommodations and facilities regardless of race or skin color.
