<em>A. Guaranteeing all African American males the right to vote.</em>
Explanation:
After the American Civil War, the Reconstruction began. One of the biggest topics during this time was whether or not the South should be punished and take blame for their actions. While some people wanted to forgive the South and move on, some wanted the South to pay.
The Radical Republicans played a big role in the Reconstruction. They believed in equal rights for African Americans and black males ended up with the right to vote. They also wanted to punish Confederate leaders for their crimes during the war and embrace equality among the country.
President Lincolns plan for Reconstruction was very different from the Radical Republicans' idea. While the Radical Republicans thought that the South should pay for what they did, President Lincoln believed that if they took an oath to the Union they should get off free.
The transcontinental railroad allowed for the transportation of goods over long distances. This was especially helpful for the industrial north at the time.
During the period of the Renaissance, Italy was divided into numerous small city-states controlled by local wealthy people. There were large differences though from one city-state to another, and while the northern ones were very wealthy and had things going very smoothly, the southern ones were much less successful.
The reason why the northern Italian city-states were so wealthy was mostly the trade. These city-states had excellent large ports. They were producing multiple things that were in high demand and also very well paid for for export, and were getting lot of things they needed and desired from the other parts of the world.
These states had very well developed fleets, and they were trading with multiple Asian regions, Europe, as well as parts of Africa. They were exporting their high quality products. Very often they were buying certain things from one place, then re-sell it in other place buy much higher prices, thus getting more and more wealth over time. That wealth enabled them to get all they needed without any problem, thus making them very stable and strong small states.
