The last quarter of the nineteenth century brought a slow but perceptible change in American foreign policy. Discuss how that change developed down through the end of the Spanish-American War. Then trace the development of American foreign policy though the administrations of Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson (to 1917). What assumptions and objectives lay behind their decisions? How did their foreign policies differ in focus?

This plan was supported by Benjamin F. Wade and Henry W. Davis. A number of Republicans on Congress felt Lincoln’s plan was too likely to fall under secessionists who were disloyal, therefore Congress passed the Wade-Davis plan that was to be less lenient and more demanding. This plan, or bill, as some state, instead needed 50 percent of participating voters of a state to swear to a loyalty oath. Differing from Lincoln’s plan, this plan permitted only those who were non-Confederates to vote for new constitutions for states. Lincoln did not approve of this, resulting in him not signing it and later pocket vetoing it to kill the bill. From this point on, he and Congress were in opposition. The reason this plan was passed was because Congress found Lincoln’s plan to be too lenient and worried that slavery would continue on in response to it. They made the requirements far stricter to get what they wanted for congressional reconstruction, which was purely revenge. This was also known as radical

Over the past several decades, there have been great tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union which continue into what is known today as Russia. Suspicions and tensions between these two countries increased greatly during and directly after World War II, particularly between 1941 and 1949.

Massachusetts declared to be in a state of rebellion because the passed resolution of unconstitutional Coercive Act urged the people of Massachusetts to form government to collect taxes, to arm and form their own militia.

Because the British troops were on their way to seize military supplies store in Concord.

Lincoln's main goal was to reunite the Union after the North had won and demolished most of the South. Lincoln wanted to reunite the North and South but the South didn't want to join a slave free north. Lincoln came up with the 10 percent plan which required 10 percent of the state’s population to vote to be loyal to the North and then that state would have to create a new government. The southern states combated this plan with the Wade-Davis Bill which stated that reconstruction would be handed over to congress and the Southern States

American colonists mainly descended from England and were loyal to the British Crown, however, politically the decisions made in the Continental Congress and the stopping of salutary neglect angered the colonists, socially, as a result of unfair taxes, colonists from all the colonies began to rebel and thus have their interests aligned which developed a sense of social unity, and economically after many unjust acts were carried out by the British Empire, the colonies began to help one another, therefore between 1750 to 1776 colonists began to cease their loyalty towards England and develop an independent American identity.

The founding fathers were justified in rebelling against the British government and declaring independence. I think that the British government's actions were unfair to the colonists, and the colonists had the right to rebel against them. Some evidence that shows why some people favored independence was because the taxation policies were unfair to the colonists, and the colonists also had no representation in Parliament. Yes some people did oppose the independence and some of the evidence of this was because the American colonists paid lower taxes than people in British, and they thought Parliament represented everyone in the empire.

As the Civil War continued in 1863 Lincoln Had announced his plan called the Ten-Percent Plan of Reconstruction. The main goal of the plan was to abolish slavery by getting ten percent of the voters to take the oath, so that when the ten percent was reached they could elect a new state government, which would abolish slavery. In the textbook it states "Lincoln's plan offered no role to blacks in shaping the post-slavery order." There was only select few states that took this oath and those states were Louisiana, Tennessee, and Arkansas. All of these events has started to take place after the victories at the battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg in 1863, Lincoln felt as If the south had never truly succeeded into the union. Lincoln agreed that

The North’s victory after four years of fighting in the Civil War in 1865 allowed the 13th amendment to pass, and eventually added the 14th and 15th amendment to the constitution. These abolished slavery and attempted to create equal rights among all people. The Reconstruction Act divided the South into separate military districts and formed governments based on male suffrage. The South and North had extremely different views on how to rebuild the South and how former slaves should be incorporated into the country as freed people. The process of the Reconstruction period of rebuilding the South proposed many new challenges. The efforts to ensure equal rights to the freedmen failed because of the acts that were passed to control the labor and

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS- November of 1773 an event happened that changed the colonist’s lives forever. During this time the Tea Act was taking place. This helped the British East Tea company by enabling them to send tea straight to the colonies, whereas they usually had to send the tea to England, then on to the colonies. The Parliament thought the colonist would like this change, but because they had to pay the duty, or import tax, which did not sit well with them, they were not so gracious with this decision. They started boycotting English goods, including the tea. Later in the month of November the Sons of Liberty dressed up as Indians and went on the ship containing the tea, and dumped hundreds beyond hundreds of boxes of tea off of the boat.

The Thirteenth Amendment of 1865 abolished slavery, the Fourteenth Amendment of 1868 granted African Americans citizenship and equal protection under the law, and the Fifteenth Amendment of 1870 granted African Americans the right to vote. These amendments were passed in an effort to combat racism and reshape public perception of blacks, however, these laws were hard to enforce and Southern states developed their own laws like the Black Codes to control the newly freed slaves. Jim Crow-era laws in the South like the poll tax and literacy tests prevented many blacks in the South from voting. Anyone who tried to break Southern traditions was subject to violence and intimidation from the Ku Klux Klan.

With all the issues the ex-Confederate states were giving the United States government, Lincoln devised the 10% Plan that was later carried out by Johnson, while Radical Republicans created the Civil Rights Act that later helped develop the 14th Amendment. Lincoln’s 10% Plan was to be lenient with the states from the Confederacy who had seceded from the Union. The Plan said that only 10% of the voting population had to take an oath of loyalty to the Union and rewrite state constitutions accepting emancipation. Congress, disliking Lincoln’s plan, wrote the Wade-Davis Bill which stated NO pardons to be given to those ex-Confederate states and that instead of only 10% taking the oath of loyalty, 50% had to. Lincoln’s response was to pocket veto the bill. When Lincoln was assassinated Andrew Johnson became President. Now Johnson was a very troubled man, poor and from Tennessee, he grew up despising the wealthy southern plantation owners and because of this, he set out for

Abraham Lincoln presented the 10 percent plan, which in short, gave pardons to the southern states, who were part of the Rebellion, if 10 percent of the seceded states took an oath of loyalty to the North, promising to abide by the Proclamation of Emancipation. Radical republicans however, did not take to this, and proposed the

However, it had been used to grant all the personal liberties and rights conveyed in the Bill of Rights. Among other things, this prohibited ex-Confederate leaders from holding political office, and also gave the freedmen their citizenship. The rejection of the 14th Amendment paved the way for the Reconstruction Act of 1867; this dismantled all Southern governments and launched military control over the South. The Reconstruction Act guaranteed freedmen the right to vote under new state constitutions and required the Southern states to approve the 14th A With the addition of African American votes in the southern elections and the help of "Carpet Baggers" and "Scalawags," the Republican Party gained almost complete control over the South.
