<span>The three reasons why Reconstruction failed to live up to its potential are:
1. There was a lack of unity in national government.
This is because, Reconstruction happened after Americans' Civil War and some of the people in the government didn't like the idea of establishing this which caused the failures of bring the South America into the country, revive the economy and rebuild the broken landscape.
2. Not enough of the freedmen wanted to become free. Although Reconstruction wanted to infuse the freed slaves into the society, it did not successfully established. This was due to the rise of American organizations that made them feel insecure.
3. America could not overcome the issue of racism.

Answer: Answer and explanation #1
President Harry Truman talks about "two ways of life" in a speech to Congress in 1947.
When Truman talks about two ways of life he calls them one "free" and other "totalitarian". By this time the term totalitarianism had already become famous to classify extremely authoritarian regimes like the nazi and soviet regimes.
Thus the president can only be referring to the opposition between capitalist and communist economic systems represented by the US and Soviet Union.
To answer if you agree with President Truman's argument you should ask yourself a few questions: was the US back then a regime that really followed the will of the majority? how was the US back then? how was the USSR? how did political persecution work there? was it really impossible to both systems to exist in the world? In short, you must check Truman's arguments to see if you agree or disagree with them.
Answer and explanation #2
Most historians agree that this speech was a declaration of the Cold War. It was given when the US saw that the USSR could amplify its influence on Western Europe and Africa: Truman spoke to Congress to get approval to financially aid Turkey and Greece regimes against leftist groups supported by the USSR.
So we see in this speech the entire framing of the Cold War: a war that was not fought directly but rather by securing influence zones. This speech was the beginning of the Truman Doctrine: it started the Containment Policy which compromised to stop the spreading of communism to other areas of the world other than the USSR.
What Truman started in this speech was the modus operandi of the Cold War until its end in the late 20th century.
