Why did Reconstructionists refuse to give Blacks land after the Civil War apush?

History

nikdorinn [45]3 years ago

The Reconstructionists refused to give Blacks land after the civil war due to the Black codes that were passed during that time to limit the freedom of African Americans and to make them work as cheap labor after the end of civil war.

Explanation:

  • Though the Union victory gave four million slaves their freedom, the status of the blacks in the south was questioned.
  • Prohibition of blacks from holding any other occupation other than farmer or servant unless they were willing to pay an annual tax up to 100$ and this law was proposed in South Carolina.
  • Under Johnson’s Reconstruction policies, black codes were enacted in all southern states during the period of 1865 to 1866. The codes also granted certain freedoms to African Americans which includes,
  1. The right to purchase and own properties their choice
  2. Marry
  3. Make contracts
  4. Testify in court.
  • The Primary purpose of this code was to restrict the blacks their freedom.
  • Limiting the types of properties for the blacks was also a rule that was passed on at that time.
  • All  the former Confederate states passed strict labor contract laws, and “anti enticement” measures to punish anyone who offered higher wages to a black laborer already under contract.

Aleks [24]

The answer was South Africa. Rhodes’ ambition was to create a railroad that would connect African colonies directly to Cairo in Egypt. This was made during the colonial period.  Though some parts were constructed, it missed completion due to rivalry with other European colonial powers.

Did Joseph Brant make the right decision or the wrong decision for his people? 3 paragraph essay :/
Rus_ich [418]
He made the wrong decision, in my opinion, but that’s more of an opinion type thing, but I think he did because of his actions during the revolutionary war, which is, he led troops from Great Britain and loyalist to the throne, he was against American colonist who are fighting to gain their independence from Great Britain. Grant was also perhaps falsely accused of committing war crimes, for which she received no punishment.

Which of the following is true of John Marshall's decision in McCulloch v. Maryland?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

B. It increased federal authority by invoking the doctrine of implied powers.

Explanation:

McCulloch v. Maryland was a litigation or court case between the national bank known as The Second Bank of the United States and the state of Maryland with respect to the tax that was imposed on it by the state.

Basically, the state of Maryland passed a legislation to impose taxes on banknotes ($15,000 annually) of any bank that isn't chartered in the state of Maryland.

However, James W. McCulloch who was head at the Baltimore branch of the Second Bank objected and refused to pay the tax. Consequently, the appellate court of Maryland ruled that the Second Bank was established unconstitutionally because the federal government isn't provided a textual commitment by the constitution to charter a bank.

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Marshall ruled that the Federal government of USA has certain implied powers accorded or given to it by the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution but aren't explicitly stated therein.

<em>Hence, the statement which is true of John Marshall's decision in McCulloch v. Maryland is that, it increased federal authority by invoking the doctrine of implied powers.</em>
