Answer:
Johnson rejected many of the goals of Reconstruction by vetoing bills that would increase the rights of the former slaves.
Explanation:
Andrew Johnson entered presidency upon the death of the abolitionist Abraham Lincoln in 1865. As Lincoln's former Vice President, Johnson was expected to make policies similar to Lincoln's and achieve the goals of Reconstruction. However, once Johnson was in office, he took a different approach to the situation: he failed to make policies that protected the right of newly freed slaves and that kept them safe after the Civil War and failed to regulate the Southern States. Instead, Johnson granted thousands of pardons to white Southerners, wealthy planters and Confederate leaders and allowed some of them to return to power and to have their property back.
Answer:
The authority of the Tsar's government began disintegrating on 1 November 1916, when Pavel Milyukov attacked the Boris Stürmer government in the Duma. Stürmer was succeeded by Alexander Trepov and Nikolai Golitsyn, both Prime Ministers for only a few weeks. During the February Revolution two rival institutions, the imperial State Duma and the Petrograd Soviet, both located in the Tauride Palace, competed for power. Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918) abdicated on 2 March [15 March, N.S.], and Milyukov announced the committee's decision to offer the Regency to his brother, Grand Duke Michael, as the next tsar. Grand Duke Michael did not want to take the poisoned chalice and deferred acceptance of imperial power the next day. The Provisional Government was designed to set up elections to the Assembly while maintaining essential government services, but its power was effectively limited by the Petrograd Soviet's growing authority.
