Following WWII, the United States and the Soviet Union were the two most powerful nations in the world. WWI devastated Europe with many lives being lost as well as destruction to the landscape. WWII was even more destructive, both economically and politically exhausting great nations like France, UK, and Germany. Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill met at the Yalta Conference in 1945 to discuss the situation of postwar Europe. This later lead to a separation of Eastern Europe, (which went into Soviet hands) and Western Europe which America financially aided and sent supplies to to help rebuild.
The great migration was the great displacement of African-Americans from the southern states of the United States to the northern states. Looking to find better opportunities for work and fleeing segregation, they migrated massively starting in the early 1900's. They were searching for a better quality of life, more freedom and equality of rights. Motivated to move away from poverty, hunger and violence placed upon them by the conservative Southern American society, they began to migrate to cities of the north, southwest and western United Sates, changing from a rural life to an urban one.They found new jobs in the manufacturing industry that was rising in the north as a result of the first and second world wars and were able to settle and then create new communities. As a result of many years of slavery and even after its abolition, these black Americans suffered injustice, prejudice and racism and were forced to look elsewhere for better living conditions in general. Also the great migration gave African-Americans the chance to better integrate themselves into public and social life within the established mainly white/ of European decent society. These resulted in a great change in the American society as a whole, giving way for black culture to start to develop and take root. African Americans left behind a marginalized and discriminatory existence to raise on they own merits and to form unique and diverse communities with their own culture, food and music among other features that give them their identity today.

The correct answer is letter A
Unlike most presidents, Johnson has a distant background in the aristocracy. He owned a tailoring shop in the state of Tennessee, the "volunteering state".
In local debates, he defended the common man and attacked the plantation aristocracy. In the 1840s and 1850s, as a member of the House and Senate, he defended a bill to provide free land to the poor.
Johnson remained in the Senate even when Tennessee, along with the other southern states, joined the secession. The decision made him popular in the northern United States, as Johnson was showing himself to be in favor of the Union, not of the break-up of the United States.
