On April 17, 1961, 1400 Cuban exiles launched what became a botched invasion at the Bay of Pigs on the south coast of Cuba.
In 1959, Fidel Castro came to power in an armed revolt that overthrew Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. The US government distrusted Castro and was wary of his relationship with Nikita Khrushchev, the leader of the Soviet Union.
Before his inauguration, John F. Kennedy was briefed on a plan by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) developed during the Eisenhower administration to train Cuban exiles for an invasion of their homeland. The plan anticipated that the Cuban people and elements of the Cuban military would support the invasion. The ultimate goal was the overthrow of Castro and the establishment of a non-communist government friendly to the United States.
<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.
