Describe Congressional Reconstruction

History
1 answer:
ValentinkaMS [17]3 years ago
7 0

The so-called <u>radical Republicans</u>, in turn, understood that the readmission of the southern states to the nation required close federal vigilance and interference, including the presence of national troops guaranteeing black electoral enlistment in the southern states. Beginning in 1867, projects advocated by radical Republicans gained greater support, although this group of politicians was a minority in the Party's congressional delegation. This context, especially between 1867 and 1876, became known as the period of Radical Reconstruction and was marked by a series of political interventions and initiatives aimed specifically at guaranteeing black citizenship rights in American society.

On March 2, 1867, the first <u>Reconstruction Law</u> was passed, the text of which provided for the black vote in the election of the delegates who would draft the new state constitutions in the southern United States. To restore political autonomy, such states should extend the “privilege” of voting to black men over twenty-one. If in fact in that context the vote was thought of as a privilege, and not exactly as a right, the fact to be observed was that such a privilege, for the first time, was registered in law concerning the former slave states, as an independent exercise of race, color or precondition.

The political climate after the first Reconstruction Law has intensified discussions about black citizenship rights. In 1868, Congress ratified Amendment XIV, bringing the issue of black citizenship to the center of national political discussion. Amendment XIV to the Constitution established citizenship as an attribute of persons born in or naturalized in North American territory, thus independent of the origin or previous condition of the subject. It was thus indicated that both blacks and former slaves enjoyed general political rights in the nation and their states of residence. Such states, incidentally, should be punished with diminished representation in the Federal Congress if they did not respect the voting rights of blacks.

Finger [1]

Answer:

Britain, France and the United States all disagreed on on the issue of reparations settlement. It leads to the War Guilt Clause, or Article 231, of the Treaty of Versailles.

Explanation:

France required Germany to pay reparations for the damage they had caused, as a means to ensure that Germany could not again threaten France and as well to weaken the German ability to compete with France's industrialization.

Britain opposed harsh reparations in favor of a lighter reparations settlement, including war pensions for disabled veterans and allowances to be paid to war widows.

The United States, on the other hand, opposed these settlements, and requested that there be no indemnity imposed upon Germany.

Malcolm x death and legacy<br><br> Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Malcolm X was an African-American Muslim priest, human rights activist, and prominent leader of black nationalists who served as president of the Nation of Islam during the 1950s and 1960s. As an excellent speaker, Malcolm X managed to get his numerous listeners to his side. His speeches addressed the identity, uncompromisingness and independence of blacks, and he encouraged his followers to defend themselves “by any means,” including violent means if necessary.  

Malcolm X fell victim to assassins in February 1965. His legacy is evident in society and popular culture to this day: Malcolm helped, among other things, change the terms Negro and colored to their current forms of black and African American. The later Black Power movement was based on his criticism and ideals.
