Q13.
The response to the question depends almost entirely on one's view of Restoration, which historians perceived as the weakest level in the American politics storyline for several decades. A "tragic period" of bribery and utter incompetence carried on by the triumphant North's decision to grant the South's free African citizens the right to vote, who were supposedly incompetent to practice it adequately.
In this view, Lincoln had expected a swift and lenient reunification of the country before his death, based on embracing most Confederates and rapidly getting their states back to its normal Union involvement. His replacement, Andrew Johnson, was supposedly trying to enact Lincoln's agenda but he was ultimately blocked by the Congress-controlled Radical Republicans.
Q14.
The Thirteenth Amendment did work to a large degree. In the United States, it legally ended slavery and involuntary servitude. It also implied that no individual being could pretend to own a human colleague. This was the result of the abolitionist movement that occurred long even before civil war in America. Abolishing slavery, however, certainly did not make blacks equivalent. The abolition of slavery did not put an end to bigotry and racism, but the goals of this provision were not these. We may assume, for that purpose, which the amendment was really a victory.
Q15.
With the exception of punishment for a felony, the Thirteenth Amendment, ratified in 1865, dismantles slavery or involuntary servitude. The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, describes as citizens all individuals born in the United States, requires due process of the law, which provides equal rights for all. The 14th amendment also prevented former government - military office holders who assisted the confederate states from occupying any state or federal office anymore, given that both chambers of parliament could lift this ban from persons by a two-thirds vote.
Q16.
In the history of the United States, Reconstruction is the era from 1865 to 1877, which accompanied the American Civil War. During this era, the efforts were made to resolve the inequities of oppression and its political, social and economic heritage and to tackle the issues resulting from the admittance of the 11 states that voted to secede sometime before the declaration of hostilities to the Union.
By 1875, Reconstruction had come to an end in large part. The disputed presidential election the next year, which was determined in favor of the Republican nominee and the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, only reinforced the obvious: Reconstruction had failed to attain its primary goal of establishing a multiracial democracy that guaranteed equal rights for all people.
Q17.
Following are some propose ideas to deal with the problem of terrorism in radical reconstruction. Terrorists are generally mentally ill persons who may become a decent person if they eventually obtain adequate medical attention. The demand for this career is to bring a full stop to terrorism.
Strict control over the supply of resources needed for the manufacturing of arms and, of course, of imported arms: those who supply terrorists with arms and their resources should be critically assessed and strictly assassinated. The spy system should concentrate on any and every unusual behavior that is taking place. Before one talks about it, this device should be strong enough to feel T of TERRORISM.

Q15.
Manifest Destiny, a term coined in 1845, is the belief that the United States is supposed to extend its power and propagate democracy and capitalism across the entire North American continent, claimed by God its supporters. As white Americans advanced west, they clashed with not only the Indian tribes but with Hispanic Americans and Chinese people as well.
At the end of the Mexican-American War, Hispanics in the Southwest had the ability to become American citizens, but their position was obviously second-class. The affect was in the face of pervasive bigotry and entitlement; these distinct cultural and ethnic communities strove to protect their rights and mode of living.
Q16.
The Wild West was a plentiful paradise domesticated at the barrel of a sword by swaggering patriots who did speak. That is the Hollywood version of events, at least. The fact of border life was very distinct from the covered in gold narrative and there was rarely a fairy-tale reunion. The atmosphere of violence throughout the late nineteenth-century American West generated almost exclusively by military interference by the U.S. government, which would have been mainly a hidden subsidy to the government-subsidized intercontinental railroad companies. The battle on the Indian tribes, as controversies go, makes the Credit Mobilie affair seem unimportant.
Q17.
The first tactic employed to cope with the supposed Indian threat was to negotiate treaties to transfer tribes out of the way of white settlers as colonists sought additional agricultural land, extraction and livestock grazing. The First Treaty of Fort Laramie was accepted by the chiefs of...
