Did the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments help or harm the relationship between the north and south? why?

klio [65]3 years ago

The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments are also known as the Civil War Amendments. This is because they came directly after the Civil War. They were created to help the lives of former slaves.

The 13th Amendment abolished slavery and made it illegal in the United States. The only exception was if someone was doing the punishment for a crime. The 14th Amendment granted citizenship to anyone who was born in the United States. This made it so former slaves now were officially citizens of the United States. The 15th Amendment gave men the right to vote regardless of race or skin color. This meant that former male slaves could now vote.

The Civil War Amendments ultimately hurt the relationship between the North and the South. The North and the South disagreed on a lot, one of the major disagreements was slavery. Even after the Civil War, the South wanted to continue slavery. The South even enacted poll taxes and literacy tests on polls in order to try to prevent black Americans from voting.

To what degree was a unique american nationality developing in the eighteenth-century colonies? were regional differences in the
Colt1911 [192]
In my opinion, the unique American nationality developed a great deal during the 18th century. Of all things, the French and Indian War (the 1750's) probably had one the greater effects on the feeling of nationality. For the first time, the colonists felt a feeling of military success. This undoubtedly fueled a sense of unity. Moreover, Enlightenment thinkers like Benjamin Franklin contributed to the "new" American culture. His developments as an American were unique and stimulating. 
I think that regional differences in the colonies continued to grow and grow until the outbreak of the Civil War in 1860. The South was able to grow a different and wider variety of things, thus creating its own economic identity (slavery, etc). The North remained more religious-affiliated and began to develop things like more universities, which the south generally did not (not a single ivy-league college in the south). A very different ideology continued to create each colony own identity in the 18th century and continued for quite some time.

Which of the following American political practices BEST exemplifies John Locke’s principle of consent of the governed?
vfiekz [6]

Election of public officials best exemplifies John Locke’s principle of consent of the governed.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Consent refers to the freedom of natural and legal rights. John Locke was a great philosopher of all time and especially famous for his work doctrine of rights. Locke claimed that men are free and they have the right to do their own actions without depending on the will of other men. But in the case of government, people will come to power and they cannot live without the will of the government.

So he argued the fact which the government can be officially legal only when the people decide them to be legitimate. Not every person will have the same consent about the government they are living under. Because of the benefits they experienced from the government. so he called this as tacit consent.
