The 365 day solar calendars are much more practical and accurate than 29.5 day moon calendars. As the lunar calendar is governed by the cycle of 29 and a half days of the moon, in ancient times it was much used for the resemblance to the menstrual period of the woman, and with the pregnancy time of 10 lunar months. However, it can't be compared to the accuracy of the solar calendar, which also brings together the four seasons of the year, and it was the most popular in the West since lunar cycles are inaccurates for modern requirements. This because each month would have half a day that would be lost or added to next month, but finally at the end of the year, the lunar cycles would not fit well with the human lunar calendar.

Which statement best summarizes the result of the withdrawal of federal protection during Reconstruction in South Carolina? Once
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

After federal troops left South Carolina, old Confederate military units were reformed under different names.

Explanation:

Following the withdrawal of federal troops from the southern states of the United States after the end of Reconstruction in 1877, the Democrats regained power in the south. Thus, violations of the rights of African Americans were reinstated, such as the literacy tests that prohibited them from voting, or the Jim Crow Laws that took away a large number of civil and political rights.

Furthermore, in the southern states, anti-African-American armed movements began to take shape, made up of former Confederate soldiers who, through violence, sought to subdue these people, with the aim of expelling them from these territories. These groups carried out their activities clandestinely, to avoid the control of the federal government, but they had the full support of the democratic state governments. Thus, groups such as the Klu Klux Klan or the Red Shirts began to carry out paramilitary and terrorist activities against African-Americans and, to a lesser extent, Republican voters.
