1. Basic civil rights were granted to emancipated African Americans during the Reconstruction era (1865–77) that followed the Civil War. But almost as soon as Reconstruction ended, white supremacy was reinstitutionalized in the South, primarily through the system of Jim Crow segregation that was legitimized by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Plessy Ferguson case (1896), which established the constitutionality of “separate but equal” facilities for Black and white people.
2. Martin Luther King, Jr., a local pastor who successfully led the Montgomery bus boycott, became the most prominent leader of the civil rights movement by advocating the principles of civil disobedience and nonviolent protest pioneered by Indian activist Mahatma Gandhi.
3. Two of the so-called Reconstruction Amendments—the Fourteenth Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal rights to formerly enslaved people, and the Fifteenth Amendment, which guaranteed that the right to vote could not be denied based on “race, color, or previous condition of servitude”—were the cornerstones of legal challenges to racial discrimination during the civil rights movement.
4. The Freedom Rides of 1961 signaled the beginning of a period when civil rights protest activity grew in scale and intensity as nonviolent activists confronted Southern segregation at its strongest points so as to pressure the federal government to intervene to protect the constitutional rights of African Americans.
5. In the aftermath of civil disorder in Watts (1965), Cleveland (1966), Detroit (1967), and Newark (1967) and throughout the United States following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. (1968), U.S. Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson created the Kerner Commission to identify the causes of the unrest. It cited racism, discrimination, and poverty and warned that “our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal.”
6. As African Americans made social, political, and economic gains, some white Americans began, in the 1970s, to claim that they were victims of “reverse discrimination.” Since then, such claims have been used, sometimes effectively, to argue against affirmative action policies and to block civil rights initiatives.
The first country to feel the effects of George W. Bush's approach in this way was Iraq, since this doctrine was a unilateral approach to fighting proposed enemies, and he invade Iraq in this way.

The answer is C.The United States has a capitalist economy; the Soviet Union had.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
We are talking about the Battle of Little Bighorn.
It is correct that in this battle of June 1876, under orders from the US government to force the Native Americans onto reservations, federal troops entered the Little Bighorn Valley in Montana Territory. Although the troops were outnumbered, they attacked anyway.
The battle was a mistake and resulted in the defeat of the US Army.
The Battle of Little Bighorn resulted in a major defeat of the Calvary of the United States. The Arapaho Tribes, the Lakota, and the Cheyenne fight the 7th Cavalry Regiment led by Colonel George Custer. The Native American Indians had a superior number of men and they practically destroyed the US soldiers and Colonel Custer was killed on the battlefield.
My best guess is B) fighting the Napoleonic wars.
