The conditions in the South during Reconstruction
Even though Southern states rejoined the Union and agreed to the 13th amendment (which outlawed the institution of slavery), the South looked very similar to what it did before the Civil War started. Even though African Americans were technically free, many of them still worked on plantations. There work on plantations was under the system known as sharecropping. Sharecropping is a system in which a person leases land from a farm owners. In return, the worker promises to give land owners a share of their crop. This system resulted in strict labor contracts. Ultimately, this system would tie African Americans to plantations as plantation owners used loopholes within the contract to keep their tenants from finding other opportunities.
Along with this, African Americans were still treated horribly in the South. The development of the Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist organization, resulted in the beating and killing of thousands of African American citizens. This group was created in order to strike fear in the hearts of African American citizens and to prevent them from using their newly gained rights (like the right for men to vote).
Lastly, the South would continue to treat African Americans as inferior by the implementation of black codes and Jim Crow laws. These laws allowed for the development of segregated public and private facilities.
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Pres. Woodrow Wilson at the end of the war was highly regarded by the Europeans as he deployed AEF to help to win the war against the Central Powers. He actively advocated for the adoption of his 14 Points as the major principles of Treaty of Versailles but the other 3 big heads: Great Britain, France, and Italy firmly rejected his suggestions except the last point, creation of League of Nations. The other allied powers want Germany reparation for the War Guilt Clause, $33B in total as Wilson though resented the demand but at last complied.
2. the U.S.A didnt join because they didn't want to get dragged into another European conflict and because they wanted to maintain a policy of isolationism.Many people hoped that this international organization could help to stabilize the world after the Versailles Treaty brought turmoil. Since Switzerland is a neutral country, organizers based the League of Nations in the city of Geneva. While this organization was the brainchild of United States president Woodrow Wilson, the U.S. would not join. Germany and Russia were not allowed to join the organization.
3. Although the League of Nations was much of the work of President Woodrow Wilson America never joined the League of Nations.
This was for several reasons, firstly America had suffered civilian casualties in the war, and many people in the USA wanted to keep America out of European affairs.
This policy was called isolationism and was probably the main reason that America didn't join the League.
Also joining the league meant that this might involve having to do things that might set back the economy or damage America otherwise.
For instance sending out soldiers out to other parts of the globe would be a very costly venture and there would probably be casualties as well.
There was also the fact that America had had little involvement in the war and had some civilians (especially German immigrants) also had little or no support for British or French policies and/or the Treaty of Versailles.
So although when the League was actually being formed Woodrow Wilson still backed America joining it, by this time America had had enough of wars and dealing with other countries problems and, despite Wilson America never joined the League.
