Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, which legally ended the segregation that had been institutionalized by Jim Crow laws.

Pros: The annexation of Texas would greatly expand the territory of the United States.
The annexation of Texas would help the United States accomplish its goal of Manifest Destiny.
Cons: The annexation of Texas could spark a war with Mexico.
The annexation of Texas, a slave state, would disrupt the balance of free and slave states in the United States.
The U.S. government presented this proposal to Texas. The Republic of Texas president, Anson Jones, presented the offer of annexation to the Texas Constitutional Convention. The proposal was approved by the Convention on July 4, 1845. In October 1845, the Texas voters overwhelmingly approved both annexation and the proposal to create a new state constitution. In December 1845, the U.S. House and Senate voted to annex Texas. On December 29, 1845, President James Polk signed the joint resolution and Texas became the 28th state admitted to the United States.

A. Americans became more aware of social inequalities.
Explanation:
America was actually poorer as a nation after the Civil War, and after slavery, the model used did not reflect that used by Europeans at the time. The North and South continued to have political and economic disagreements after the Civil War.
What DID happen was that Americans everywhere were becoming more and more aware of social inequalities, with having slaves, the treatment of the mentally ill, the conditions of those in poverty, etc.
