History

3 0

The White League, also known as the White Man's League was a white paramilitary organization started in the Southern United States in 1874 to kick Republicans out of office and intimidate freedmen from voting and politically organizing. Affiliated with the Democratic Party, its first chapter was formed in Grant Parish, Louisiana and neighboring parishes, made up of many of the Confederate veterans who had participated in the Colfax massacre in April 1873. Chapters were soon founded in New Orleans and other areas of the state The Red Shirts was a similar group that formed chapters in Mississippi and the Carolinas. Active during the later years of Reconstruction, these paramilitary groups were described as "the military arm of the Democratic Party." Through violence and intimidation of blacks and allied whites, their members suppressed Republican voting and contributed to the Democrats' taking control of the Louisiana Legislature in 1876 (and to Democratic control in other southern states).After white Democrats regained control of the state legislature in 1876, members of the White Leagues were absorbed into the state militias and the National Guard.

The Hongwu Emperor was _____.
Mamont248 [21]

The correct answer is - the founder of the Ming dynasty.

The Hongwu Emperor was the emperor that is considered as the founder of the Ming dynasty  in China. He came to rule China in the 14th century, after the Mongol Empire started to dissolve, and the Mongols were pushed back out of China and into the northern steppes.

China in this period was in terrible conditions, as the Mongols were very cruel towards them, so there was a famine, diseases, peasant revolts, so he had a very hard job in front of him in order to reform and reconstruct the country. His reign can be seen as somewhat of a transitional faze in the Chinese society.
