History

The era of Reconstruction was supposed to reunite the Union and Confederacy after the Civil War. However, this time period was met with several issues.

Struggles

- The Union had to devise a plan on how to let the Confederate States rejoin the US. Along with this, they had to consider whether or nor they would punish these states for leaving. This fight over a Reconstruction plan increased after Andrew Johnson's plans for letting the South back in were seen as weak. Radical Republicans argued that the South should be punished harshly for their actions.

Accomplishments
- During Reconstruction, multiple amendments were passed that helped newly freed slaves gain rights. This includes the 14th amendment which states that if you are born in the US then you are a citizen. Along with this, the 14th amendment also includes the Equal Protection Clause that says a citizen, regardless of color, should be treated equally under the law. The 15th amendment is also passed at this time. This gives African-American men the right to vote.

Failures
- Despite passing new amendments, Southern politicians still find a way to limit African-American participation in the political process. These politicians create poll taxes and literacy tests as a means to keep former slaves from voting in local, state, and national elections.

What factors led the wartime alliance between the United States and the Soviet Union to disintegrate into the Cold War?
allsm [11]
The other allies (England, France, etc) were too war-weary and busy rebuilding their countries to really challenge them. Germany reneged on a deal regarding splitting conquered territory North and East of Germany with Russia, so Russia switched sides. Later, NATO and the UN would drive the wedge even further, Russia shut out of NATO and constantly overridden on the UN Security Council. Germany and Russia were initially allies, like-minded in their expansionist intentions. <span>It was an alliance of convenience mostly.</span>

Fiesta28 [93]
Even though there is no passage, the correct answer is US citizenship.

With the Dawes Act, it was the hope of the federal government that they would be able to assimilate these Native Americans into "normal" American society. The promise of land and citizenship were the first parts of changing Native American culture. With citizenship rights, these Native Americans would be entitled to the same liberties/responsibilities as other citizens including the right to vote, right to free speech, right to protest, etc.
