History
1 answer:
eduard3 years ago
6 0

The reconstruction act of 1867 was important because among other things, black people, including those who had recently been freed  received the right to vote, hold political offices, and become judges and police chiefs.

They held positions that formerly belonged to Southern Democrats. Many in the South were aghast. President Johnson vetoed all the radical initiatives but congress (republicans) overrode him each time. It was the Radical Republicans who impeached President Johnson in 1868. The senate by a single vote, failed to convict him but his power to hinder radical reform was finished.

What event inspired the revival of the ku klux klan
NNADVOKAT [17]

<u>The Birth of a Nation was a film that triggered the revival of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1910s and 1920s. </u>Its original name was "the Clansman". It was released in 1915.

The film is set during the American Civil War and the Reconstruction Era, and tells the story of two families: one pro-Union and the other pro-Confederacy.

The film was a commercial success but it was also very polemic because of the manner in which black men were portrayed as unintelligent and sexually aggressive towards white women, and because it represented the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) as a heroic force. Such image presented, inspired the revival of the KKK.
