In what way do Civil War Amendments bring the US close to the realization of the ideas in the Declaration of Independence?

History

Answer:

The declaration of independence proclaimed that all men are given unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Slavery prior to the Civil War was the antithesis to that - the idea that some humans because of their skin color were inherently less human than others. The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments helped the US get closer to the realization of the Declaration of Independence by fixing that oversight (through ending slavery, installing equal rights through citizenship, and the right to the ballot).

WITCHER [35]

-Literary tests for voting. This prevented African Americans from voting, as they were refused an education.

-Separate but equal doctrine. After the 14th amendment, this legal doctrine was implemented to “protect” the rights of African Americans. This meant African Americans were segregated by race, but “ostensibly ensured equal opportunity to all races”. This is where you’d see black water fountains, and white water fountains, or black Americans being forced to the back of the bus.

How and why did the Federalists seem to overreact to the emergence of the Republicans as powerful contenders for national favor?
meriva

The Federalists, a group made up of merchants, bankers, manufacturers, wealthy farmers, plantation owners, in other words, well-educated citizens; thought that Republicans were uneducated and a second class citizens. At Government level, those two groups were represented by Jefferson and Hamilton. Hamilton believed that elite should rule, in comparison to Jefferson who thought that a common man was capable of self-control.

Having this said, the Federalist did not want the Republicans to vote or have any voice in the new nation that was born. A few years later, both parties went to elections and in 1706 the Federalist won the elections. But in 1800, Republicans beat the Federalists and Jefferson became president of the United States. And 1812 a war took place, the Federalists vs the Republicans, and the Federalist party disappeared as a result of their defeat.
