Answer 1

Reconstruction Era, Acts, and Unification of a Nation:

As a direct result of the American Civil War, the United States witnessed the 13th, 14th and 15th U.S. Constitutional Amendments.

When the American Civil War ended, leaders turned to the question of how to reconstruct the nation. One important issue was the right to vote. Hotly debated were voting rights for black American men and former Confederate men.

In the latter half of the 1860s, Congress passed a series of acts designed to address the question of rights, as well as how the Southern states would be governed. These acts included the act creating the Freedmen's Bureau, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and several Reconstruction Acts. The Reconstruction Acts established military rule over Southern states until new governments could be formed. They also limited some former Confederate officials' and military officers' rights to vote and to run for public office. (However, the latter provisions were only temporary and soon rescinded for almost all of those affected by them.) Meanwhile, the Reconstruction acts gave former male slaves the right to vote and hold public office.

Congress also passed two amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment made African-Americans citizens and protected citizens from discriminatory state laws. Southern states were required to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment before being readmitted to the union. The Fifteenth Amendment guaranteed African American men the right to vote.

Post Civil War, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was indicted (never proven guilty) and confined to prison for two years. A large portion of Davis's bond was posted by an ardent Unionist, Cornelius “Commodore” Vanderbilt. The "Commodore" had donated the S. S. Vanderbilt to Union forces during the Civil War and he was also a very prominent New Yorker, multi-millionaire and founder of Vanderbilt University (the Commodore's grandson constructed America's largest home).

Answer 2

The US became unified again because the south lost the war.

After the war the north was harsh on the south and a lot of the legislation that the south wanted passed got no where in congress.

The south got pissed and there was a whole big fighting thing like the south wouldnt vote or something so congress was locked and i forget the rest but yea there's a start

Answer 3

nicely i could think of that the yankee Revolution is reported as that and not as a civil conflict because of the fact we weren't probable element of england yet a sequence of colonies in seek of independence. We have been attempting to grow to be an self sustaining united states as hostile to taking over Britain itself. The Civil conflict even though composed of two separate international locations replaced into particularly between 2 factions of the same united states. The union purpose replaced into to keep the southern states that had left the union. united statesa. on no account particularly recongnized the south as yet another united states, nor (i think) did the different united states. interior the yankee Revolution France known us. Had the Confederacy gained the conflict it could have then grow to be a revolution in the event that they desperate to stay a separate united states and not overtake Lincoln's government. Had they taken over the different government then it could have nevertheless been a civil conflict. The defination of civil conflict is that the two waring facets come from the same soverign united states.

Answer 4

The Confederacy surrendered at Appamattox. They had to give up slavery and no states could secede the union any longer, however. The country was politically united, but the power balance was precarious. The south remained largely agricultural and very poor, whereas the industrialized north was wealthier. Racism ran deep, and the country still often divides on what was formerly the Union and Confederacy in political matters.
