Describe Congressional Reconstruction

History

ValentinkaMS [17]3 years ago

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.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

2.

Explanation:

'Beowulf' is an epic poem and the oldest surviving poetry written in Old English.

In the epic, Grendel begins to attack Danes because he hears the sound of merriment and joy from Heorot. Grendel and his mother belong to the cursed generation of Cain and were banished from society because of Cain's curse from God.

When Grendel, the monster, heard the sounds of joy and singing and dancing from Heorot, he envied them and despised them for their happiness and merriment. This is the reason he attacks and killed the men in Heorot.

Thus the correct option is 2.

did the korean war serve any purpose? was part or all of it just a mistake? what were the "results"? how much responsibility sho
Studentka2010 [4]

The Korean war had a purpose but it had largely failed.

Explanation:

Truman can and cannot be blamed for the war as he had formulated this policy of attacking in per preemptive measures to control the spread of communism that had plagued the US for so long.

At the same time the nature of the policy was such that it has led to the development of the US in certain senses.

So, as all things in history it is a two way thing and often based around the perspective one has of things.

The war itself was not a success in terms of containing communism as North Korea was out of grasp.
