After the passing of the 13th Amendment of the Constitution, the African American community expected the following gains:
1. An end to legal Slavery, which did happen very quickly.
2. Many, for the first time, free of slavery could travel to meet loved ones and find jobs in other parts of the country.
3. An independent development of a thriving black culture, church, music etc.
However, the African American population were not able to win universal suffrage and still struggled for over a century with the problem of legalized segregation.
Answer:
In 1670, there was not a country called the United States of America, but there was only a collection of British colonies which weren´t free; they were under the authority of England´s crown. In 1860, the USA was a well established independent and democratic country, despite the deep political and social divisions of the time that would lead to the Civil War. The nation had its Constitution, citizens´rights (it is true not all people could enjoy them because of slavery) and separation of powers. There were regular elections for president and Congress. Unfortunately, the democratic progress of the USA did not benefit all on an equal basis in the 19th century and good part of the 20th century. Even after the Civil War, the passing of the 14th Amendment and other laws, real legal equality was not achieved. Southern states approved legislation that impeded the effective use of African American rights to vote. So, democratic evolution hasn´t always generated benefits to all, but there´s been significant improvement since the 1960s.

Answer:
This movement was cause by the rise of atheism and agnosticism. Prayer was not require in schools anymore. Religious leaders saw this and instigated another religious movement. It effected politics a lot. Today, being Christian is typically associated with the Republican Party, even though there are many christians in the Democratic Party as well. Before the 1970's religion wasn't associated with politics. Church leader thought politics were dirty. So being an open Christian in politics is vital to being elected. Few politicians are openly non-religious. Even if they haven't stepped foot in a church in decades, they still say they maintain a religious relationship so that they are reelected.
