Economic problems began to sap at the North’s effort for an
effective reconstruction. Even public support
for reconstruction starts to decline. At
this point, Southerners call for an end to the Reconstruction. Though support was now declining, Congress

the terms of the 14th and 15th Amendments.
The man being described here is Prince Henry the Navigator. Prince Henry was a Portuguese man who helped spark the age of exploration. He is known for his several contributions to this era, including:

2) Mapping the west coast of Africa.
3) Laid the foundation for individuals like Christopher Columbus, Vasco Da Gama, and John Cabot.
Ronald Reagan was the U. S. president from 1981 to 1989. Franklin D. Roosevelt was also a U. S. president. He served from 1933 to his death in 1945.
Both presidents had an interest in serving for more than 8 years, the currently-accepted maximum length for a presidential term. Franklin D. Roosevelt was president four times, due to his popularity and success in restoring the economy after the Great Depression. Serving for two four-year terms had been an unwritten rule since George Washington, but it was not a law, which enabled FDR to stay in power for longer.
After his death, Amendment XXII was passed, limiting the time a president could serve to two periods of four years. However, in 1987, Reagan made public his interest to get rid of this amendment. He argued that the change would not apply to him, but to leaders from then on.
