Answer:

The Civil Rights Act of 1866 declared all persons born in the United States to be citizens, "without distinction of race or color, or previous condition of slavery or involuntary servitude." Although President Andrew Johnson vetoed the legislation, that veto was overturned by the 39th United States Congress and the bill became law. The Civil Rights Act of 1866 was the nation's first civil rights law.

Jefferson was the minister to France and also secured trade agreements. However, France went under during the French Revolution.

During the french and indian war, how did the quakers uphold their principles
mariarad [96]
The Quakers lived in harmony and peace, as their religion permitted and demanded; therefore, they had no problems with neighboring Indian tribes; however, this peace was threatened in 1757, when the Delaware and Shawnee natives joined the French, during the Franco-Indian War, and the Pennsylvania government declared war on the two Indian tribes. From that moment on, the Quakers renounced the Pennsylvania Council to keep themselves out of this war, for their pacifist way of seeing life prevented them from going to war with the Indian tribes.

loris [4]

Because the twentieth century's events demonstrated communism to be a catastrophic failure, twentieth century philosophy rejected the value of history.

<h3>Why was the 20th century such an important era in world history?</h3>

                                The Spanish flu pandemic, World Wars I and II, nuclear weapons, nuclear power, and space exploration, nationalism and decolonization, scientific achievements, and the Cold War and post-Cold War conflicts dominated the 20th century and contributed to the formation of the modern era.

                           The First World War and the start of the Second World War in 1914 and 1939, respectively, are examples of the twentieth century's severe brutality.
