To understand the end of Reconstruction, it's important to take the following facts into account:
- 1872: The General Amnesty Act was passed by the Congress. This act removed restrictions placed upon Confederate officials.
- 1873: the Fourteenth Amendment was scarcely interpreted in the Slaughterhouse cases. This meant that state law was violationg individuals' civil rights.
- 1875: The Civil Rights Act of this year, which allowed black people to be part of a jury and which didn't allow racial discrimination in public places, was eventually not enforced.
- Finally in 1876 the idea of the Reconstruction was left aside by both parties and in 1883 the Civil Rights Act was declared unconstitutional.
All of these reasons, caused the end of the Reconstruction and made Republicans forsake black people, finally causing the infringement of civil rights and full segregation.
French and Indian war (also known as the seven years war), led tensions between the 13 colonies and Britian. This is because in this war france lost New France to the British. When taxes began to rise in the colonies and Americans were starting to rebel, French were happy to help since it would be a sort of revenge since losing their colony in North America.
After the end of World War II, Soviet forces occupied the country, seeking dominance of their Socialist Ideology, and there they stayed throughout the Cold War.
Occupying it was how they managed to take control of this portion of the country. Their ideological war against the United States' Capitalism was how they managed to maintain control of the area.
During this period the Berlin Wall was built, and it marked the division between Western and Eastern Germany.
