There were several ideas from the Reconstruction and I will focus on:
- 13th Amendment - <u>Very effective </u>
- Sharecropping <u>- needed revising </u>
The Republicans in Congress were able to pass and then ratify the 13th Amendment which:
- Abolished slavery thereby freeing black people
- Allows for Congress to come against other forms of slavery for instance, trafficking.
This was very effective as it ended a dark chapter in American history and paved the way for equality of races.
A disastrous policy that was implemented during Reconstruction was Sharecropping.
Sharecropping was a way by which White landowners kept poor Whites and Black people as legal labor. It involved:
- Lending land to a farmer for payment in the form of harvested crops
- Landowners controlling what the farmer pays them
- Farmers getting into debt because they had to buy seeds and tools from the landowners and interest kept accruing even when they could not harvest enough crops to pay back.
- Farmers being forced to remain on the land to work off their debt.
Sharecropping kept a lot of Black people in bondage and ensured White landowners had a labor force just like during slavery.
This could have been solved by laws being passed that allowed Sharecroppers to change their profession and go into other jobs where they would then have enough money to pay back their debt.
In conclusion, the 13th Amendment allowed the nation to start anew with all people being free but the practice of Sharecropping damaged that in some areas.

Yes, generally speaking it is true that during <span>the Cold War, countries allied with the United States lived in democracies, while those allied with the Soviet Union bore with communism, since this was known as a "sphere of influence."</span>
Politically, it was a clever move by the US, because it seemed as if the Soviet Union had excluded itself from theEuropean Recovery Program by its own doing. The remaining countries under Soviet influence of EasternEurope were pressed into turning down the Marshall Plan as well.
Nazis were taught that they were superior to all other races.
Explanation:
The Nazis believed that they had pure blood and were a part of the pollution that was supposed to rule over the world with their Aryan ancestry.
Obviously this meant that they believed all other races to be below them but also that they considered the Jews to be terrible people and beneath them.
They were brainwashed into believing that the Jews were the root cause of all evil in the world and this informed most of their world view in terms of their decisions made in society
