Why was the reconstruction act of 1867 so important

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.

How were African<br> American rights<br> impacted by the end of<br> the century?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The civil rights movement was a struggle for social justice that took place mainly during the 1950s and 1960s for Black Americans to gain equal rights under the law in the United States. The Civil War had officially abolished slavery, but it didn’t end discrimination against Black people—they continued to endure the devastating effects of racism, especially in the South. By the mid-20th century, Black Americans had had more than enough of prejudice and violence against them. They, along with many white Americans, mobilized and began an unprecedented fight for equality that spanned two decades.

Hope this helps!

Describe two economic problems hidden by the business boom of the 1920s
Triss [41]
One economic problem was that businesses were not as healthy. People started losing money because they had numerous investors and they couldn't find a way to pay them back because they couldn't earn as much as they received in investments which caused investors to lose money in reality which harmed the businesses.

Another is that the consumers were indebted more than it was normal. People were spending more and more money and they in reality didn't have this money earned so the debt started increasing dramatically and when they couldn't pay back the debts the bubble burst and an economic crisis was introduced.
