Reconstruction
Southern Reconstruction 1865-1877 aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and establish rights for freed slaves. Key events included new amendments that freed slaves and granted citizenship and equal protection under the law, but Black Codes denied rights. Reconstruction Acts established military rule and requirements for readmitting Confederate states. However, the Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction as federal troops withdrew from the South.
Reconstruction 1865 1876
Lincoln, Congress, and Johnson each proposed different plans for Reconstruction after the Civil War. Lincoln's lenient 10% plan was rejected by Radical Republicans who wanted black suffrage added. The Wade-Davis Bill required an "iron clad" oath and constitutional conventions. Johnson largely followed Lincoln's plan but southern states passed discriminatory Black Codes. In response, Congress passed the 14th Amendment and the Radical Reconstruction plan of 1867 that established military rule and required black male suffrage. However, enforcement of equality was inadequate and the compromise of 1877 removed federal troops, ending the Reconstruction era.
Reconstruction
1. The document provides an overview of Reconstruction in the United States after the Civil War, covering key events, policies, groups, and court cases between 1865-1877.

3. The
Reconstruction
The document discusses key issues surrounding Reconstruction after the Civil War, including how to reunite the South with the Union and integrate freed slaves into society. It compares the Reconstruction plans of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, with Lincoln favoring a moderate approach and Johnson opposing full legal rights for freedmen. Congress passed laws establishing military rule in the South and the Freedmen's Bureau to assist freed slaves. The amendments outlawing slavery and guaranteeing citizenship and voting rights passed. However, Reconstruction faced challenges like sharecropping, violence from groups like the Ku Klux Klan, and Black Codes restricting freedmen's rights, leading to mixed success in achieving full equality.
The black codes
- President Lincoln and Johnson's Reconstruction plans pardoned Southerners who took an oath of allegiance and allowed states back into the Union when 10% of voters did so, and they approved the 13th Amendment banning slavery.
- The Black Codes restricted freed slaves' behavior and the 13th Amendment made slavery illegal but not discrimination, outraging Southern supporters of slavery.
- The 14th Amendment granted citizenship and equal protection to freed slaves, while the 15th Amendment gave black men the right to vote, leading the KKK to form and intimidate Republican voters through violence and disguise.

Reconstruction
Reconstruction (1865-1877) aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and restore Southern states to the Union. It involved several plans and acts by Lincoln, Johnson, and Congress to repair infrastructure, establish the Freedmen's Bureau to aid former slaves, and define citizenship and voting rights through amendments to the Constitution. However, the withdrawal of federal troops from the South in 1877 after the Compromise effectively ended Congressional Reconstruction and left black southerners vulnerable to violence and intimidation through organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and oppressive policies like black codes and sharecropping.
Disenfranchising 8 5.4
South Carolina's political leadership, led by Governor Wade Hampton and Ben Tillman, implemented discriminatory policies in the late 19th century to disenfranchise African American voters and establish racial segregation. They gerrymandered districts to limit black representation, imposed literacy tests and poll taxes to suppress the black vote, and passed Jim Crow laws requiring segregation. This increased violence and lynching of blacks. The policies were aimed at restoring white supremacy and the pre-Civil War social order in South Carolina.
Immigration intro
The United States was mostly welcoming of immigrants for its first 100 years, with some exceptions for slaves and restrictions on citizenship for non-white groups. Between 1820 and 1870, many immigrants arrived from Northern and Western Europe, providing needed labor. However, some people did not want the new immigrants and used differences in race and religion to attack them. Beginning in 1875, the US began placing restrictions on what types of immigrants would be allowed, excluding those with criminal records or diseases. Between 1881 and 1920, over 23 million immigrants arrived, mostly from Southern and Eastern Europe. US immigration laws have continued to change over time based on economic, security, and social factors.

Radical Republicans gained control and passed the 14th Amendment guaranteeing rights to all citizens. Vigilante groups like the KKK terrorized blacks and Reconstruction efforts faced challenges that led to a cycle of poverty and segregation in the South.
Ch 12
Reconstruction sought to answer two questions - what would replace slavery and what would freedom mean for ex-slaves. There were obstacles to real freedom for African Americans like Black Codes and the Ku Klux Klan. Two types of Reconstruction occurred - Presidential Reconstruction under Johnson focused on quick reunification while Congressional Reconstruction under Radical Republicans established rights for freedmen and new governments in the South.
Unit 8 notes
To convict a defendant, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime with criminal intent. The defendant can present evidence that no crime was committed by showing they had an alibi elsewhere at the time of the crime using evidence like DNA. They can also argue they lacked criminal intent by proving the act was justifiable for reasons like self-defense or that they were not criminally responsible due to factors such as insanity, intoxication, entrapment, duress, or necessity.
Current event example
Angel Nieves pled guilty to third-degree murder and was sentenced to 25 to 60 years in prison for killing Rafael Del Valle during an attempted robbery at a mini market in North Philadelphia in 2012. Nieves and another man attempted to rob the store but were confronted by the owner, who pulled a gun. Del Valle, an employee, then chased after one of the robbers but was shot by Nieves from behind. Nieves' accomplice's trial is still ongoing.

Unit 12 notes2
Sentencing is the punishment given to those convicted of crimes, and is usually determined by judges. There are several sentencing options including probation, home confinement, fines, restitution, imprisonment, and in some states, capital punishment. When determining a sentence, judges consider aggravating and mitigating circumstances. The main purposes of punishment are retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and incapacitation. Reentry to society after incarceration is difficult and reducing recidivism is a major challenge.
Unit 9 notes
The document discusses legal procedures related to arrests, searches and seizures, and interrogations. It outlines the requirements for arrest warrants and probable cause for arrests. It describes the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures and the requirements for search warrants. It also discusses the Miranda Rights required to be read to suspects before interrogation to protect against self-incrimination.
Billof rights
The document lists several rights protected by the US Constitution, including freedom of religion, speech, press and assembly; the right to bear arms; protection from unlawful searches and seizures; due process rights for those accused of crimes including the right to an attorney; the prohibition on double jeopardy and excessive bail; and the fact that Congress cannot establish an official religion. It then asks true/false questions about some of these rights, which are answered correctly.
Unit 10 notes 1
After an arrest, a defendant goes through an initial court appearance where a judge sets bail and may appoint an attorney. While awaiting trial, a defendant can be released after paying bail or on their own recognizance. Some states require a preliminary hearing where the prosecutor must show probable cause that a crime was committed, while other states use a grand jury to issue an indictment. Prior to trial, the defendant and their attorney can file pretrial motions such as requesting more time to prepare, a change of venue, or suppressing certain evidence. At arraignment, the defendant enters a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no contest.
Oj simpson
OJ Simpson was tried for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The highly publicized trial was presided over by Judge Lance Ito and prosecuted by Marcia Clark, while OJ was defended by attorneys Robert Shapiro and Johnnie Cochran. The trial resulted in OJ's acquittal despite what many saw as overwhelming evidence against him.
Unit 3 notes 1
1. There are several ways to find a lawyer, but personal recommendation is best. You can also search online directories which provide general information.
2. It is important to ask about fees upfront, as lawyers may charge hourly rates from $50-$1000, require retainers, or take contingency fees which are usually 30-40% of a settlement.
3. The attorney-client relationship is built on trust, as anything a client tells their lawyer is confidential under attorney-client privilege, along with doctor-patient and priest-church member privileges. A lawyer's job is to provide good legal advice regarding issues like whether to sue or accept offers.
Unit 7 notes
This document outlines and describes 13 different types of crimes against property. It separates these crimes into two categories: those that involve the destruction of property (arson and vandalism) and those that involve the theft of property (larceny, shoplifting, concealment, embezzlement, extortion, forgery, uttering, receiving stolen property, unauthorized use of a vehicle, carjacking, and computer crimes). For each crime, it provides a brief definition and some additional details.

Unit 5 notes 2
This document defines different roles in criminal acts: a principal directly commits the crime, an accomplice helps the principal, an accessory before the fact helps plan but is not present, and an accessory after the fact helps hide or cover up evidence of the crime. It also defines extortion as obtaining something through threats and solicitation as asking someone to commit or help with a crime.
Unit 5 notes 1
Most crimes require both an act and a guilty state of mind. The guilty state of mind refers to committing the act knowingly, intentionally, or willfully. A few crimes are strict liability offenses that do not require a guilty state of mind, but the act itself constitutes a crime. Every crime is defined by its elements, which must be proven to convict someone. Crimes can also be considered civil wrongs where the victim can sue for damages in addition to criminal charges. Crimes exist at both the state and federal level.
Unit 1 test review
This document contains a review for a unit test on criminal and civil law. It provides examples of different criminal and civil actions and asks the reader to identify them as such. It also lists statements about jurisprudence, law, and criminal and civil cases and identifies whether each one is true or false. The review covers key differences between criminal and civil cases such as who brings charges, standards of proof, and possible outcomes.
Unit 6 notes
The document discusses the Make My Day Law and different types of criminal homicide. The Make My Day Law allows homeowners to use deadly force to defend their property if they verbally declare their intent first. The document then defines and compares different types of criminal homicide including first-degree murder, felony murder, second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, and involuntary manslaughter. Criminal homicides involve an intent to kill or reckless actions that result in death, while noncriminal homicides are excusable or justifiable and not subject to criminal charges.
Law unit2notes3
The Supreme Court has 9 justices who decide cases by majority rule to avoid ties. Justices are nominated by the president and approved by the Senate, serving lifetime appointments. The Chief Justice leads the Court and important decisions set legal precedents that guide all other US courts. The Court has seen firsts such as the first African American, woman, and Hispanic justices and the 9 current members were appointed by presidents from Reagan to Obama.
Unit 3 notes 2
This document discusses drugs and drug laws. It defines drugs and notes that 50-70% of arrested individuals test positive for drugs. It also links higher drug trade to higher crime rates. The Controlled Substances Act classifies drugs based on medical use, abuse potential, and dependency risk. States have harsh penalties for drug offenders like mandatory minimum sentences and asset forfeiture laws. Common drug charges include possession, possession with intent to sell, trafficking, distribution, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Law unit1notes1
The adversarial court system relies on opposing sides presenting arguments to help the judge or jury determine the truth. In a civil trial, the plaintiff sues the defendant, while in a criminal trial the prosecutor represents the government against the defendant accused of a crime. Jury trials have a jury decide the verdict after being instructed by the judge, while non-jury or bench trials have only the judge decide the verdict. Most cases never go to trial as many criminal defendants accept plea bargains for reduced sentences and many civil cases end in settlements where the plaintiff receives a payment.
Law unit1notes2
Voir dire is the jury selection process where lawyers for both sides ask potential jurors questions to identify biases. To serve on a jury, one must be at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen, able to speak and understand English, a resident of the area where the trial is held, and not a convicted felon. Both the prosecutor and defense attorney must agree on the final jury of 12 members plus 2 alternate jurors, who may replace regular jurors if needed during the trial.

Civics and economics final review
Here are the key points I would consider:
- Students have free speech rights, but schools also have authority over curriculum and activities that could disrupt education.
- The articles discuss sensitive topics and name other students without consent, which could violate privacy and cause harm.
- The principal could require removing names and work with students to address concerns while still publishing revised articles, balancing free expression and privacy.
- If agreement can't be reached, the principal has authority not to publish, though censoring due to just disagreement with views could be unconstitutional.
Overall, the situation requires balancing competing interests through respectful discussion to find an acceptable solution for all.
Chapter 12 1 & 2
This document discusses key issues around Reconstruction after the Civil War, including how to bring the Confederate states back into the Union, guarantee rights for freed black Americans, and rebuild the postwar South. It outlines debates around punishing Confederate leaders, granting voting rights and citizenship to black Americans, redistributing land, and establishing new state governments in the South. The document also summarizes the policies of Lincoln, Johnson, and the Radical Republicans toward Reconstruction and the resistance of Southern states to those policies through Black Codes and the rise of groups like the Ku Klux Klan.
Reconstruction what you need to know
The document discusses the Reconstruction era following the Civil War. It outlines several plans for Reconstruction proposed by Lincoln, Congress, and Andrew Johnson. Lincoln's 10% Plan was for Southern states to form new governments when 10% of voters pledged loyalty to the Union. The Radical Republican's Wade-Davis Bill required 50% loyalty and banned slavery in new state constitutions. Andrew Johnson's Presidential Reconstruction was more lenient, requiring loyalty oaths but allowing discrimination against freed slaves through Black Codes. This prompted the Radical Republicans to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and propose the 14th Amendment guaranteeing citizenship and equal protection. They also placed the South under military rule and passed the 15th Amendment banning racial restrictions on voting.

Chapter 17: The Reconstruction
This document provides an overview of Reconstruction after the Civil War from 1865-1877. It describes Lincoln's plan for the readmission of Confederate states which was opposed by the Wade-Davis Bill proposing stricter terms. After Lincoln's assassination, his successor Andrew Johnson implemented a lenient Reconstruction plan that angered Republicans by allowing the passage of Black Codes denying African American rights. This led to the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and proposals for the 14th Amendment, resulting in Johnson vetoing bills and a battle with Congress over civil rights.
Ch.2 reconstruction
The document summarizes the Reconstruction period after the American Civil War. It discusses that President Lincoln and Congress disagreed over Reconstruction plans, that the end of the war granted freedom to African Americans but they still faced many challenges, and that President Johnson began the process of Reconstruction but faced opposition from Radical Republicans over issues like the Black Codes. It also notes that the 14th and 15th Amendments were passed to protect citizenship and voting rights for African Americans, and that Reconstruction helped reform the South but its end led to a rollback of African American rights.
Cases
In re Gault involved a case where a boy was tried as an adult without due process like a lawyer or witnesses. The Supreme Court ruled this violated the 8th Amendment regarding cruel and unusual punishment. McCulloch vs. Maryland established that states cannot tax federal institutions like banks. Plessy vs. Ferguson upheld racial segregation under the doctrine of "separate but equal", though it did not provide equal treatment. Both cases had major impacts on civil rights and federalism.

Texas in our federal system 4 3 20
The document discusses the evolution of federalism in the United States from the Articles of Confederation to the modern day. It outlines how the original Constitution established a system of dual sovereignty between the national and state governments, with ongoing conflicts around their respective powers. The Supreme Court has positioned itself as the final arbiter of constitutional interpretation, but questions remain around which level of government has ultimate authority in different policy areas like public health emergencies.
41 After Lincoln
Covers the events that occurred in the aftermath of the American Civil War, including the readmission of former Confederate States to the Union, the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau and the Black Codes, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the debates over the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
Democrat or Republican-Gun Rights 1-81
The document discusses differing views on gun control between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats generally favor stronger gun control laws such as universal background checks, assault weapons bans, and restrictions on high-capacity magazines. Republicans generally oppose further gun control as unconstitutional and argue it will not prevent crime while punishing law-abiding gun owners. The document also examines debates around the meaning and scope of the Second Amendment.

This document outlines different forms of government such as monarchy, dictatorship, theocracy, oligarchy, and democracy. It discusses the branches of government and how power is divided. It provides context on the development of government in England and its colonies in America, including significant documents and events that led to the American Revolution and challenges the new nation faced in forming its own government under the Articles of Confederation and eventual Constitution.
Sucess and failure of sc853
Reconstruction in South Carolina saw both successes and failures in creating political, educational, and social opportunities for African Americans. Initially, African Americans gained the right to vote and hold office, with half the delegates to South Carolina's constitutional convention being newly freed slaves. However, the rise of violent groups like the Ku Klux Klan led to widespread intimidation and violence targeting African Americans and Republicans. As federal protection withdrew, discrimination increased, culminating in the 1876 Hamburg Massacre and voting irregularities that ended Republican rule in South Carolina.
Standard 10
Presidential Reconstruction aimed to quickly readmit southern states to the Union with lenient terms, but it failed to protect the rights of freed slaves. Radical Republican Reconstruction required southern states to rewrite constitutions guaranteeing black rights and ratify the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. However, the Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction, removing federal troops and protection for freed slaves as the South imposed Jim Crow laws and disenfranchised most black voters.
Blog notes
The document summarizes tensions over slavery in the United States from the 1840s to 1859. Key events include the Wilmot Proviso raising concerns over slavery's expansion, the Compromise of 1850 attempting to balance North and South interests, the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin fueling anti-slavery sentiment, the Kansas-Nebraska Act reopening the slavery issue, the Dred Scott decision allowing slavery's spread, and John Brown's raid further deepening the crisis over slavery leading up to the Civil War.

Blog notes
The document summarizes tensions over slavery in the United States from the 1840s to 1859. Key events include the Wilmot Proviso raising concerns over slavery's expansion, the Compromise of 1850 which temporarily resolved issues around California's statehood and fugitive slave laws, and the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act reopening the slavery debate. Violence increased as abolitionists like John Brown and pro-slavery forces battled over the expansion of slavery into new territories. The 1857 Dred Scott decision further inflamed tensions by ruling that blacks could not be citizens and Congress could not ban slavery in territories. Lincoln emerged as a leading opponent of slavery's expansion through his debates with Stephen Douglas in 1858.
G&P US Constitution Key Points
The document summarizes key concepts relating to the US Constitution:
1) It outlines the creation of the US Constitution in 1787 with the separation of powers into three branches of government.
2) It discusses the amendment process and some of the important amendments, especially the Bill of Rights added in 1791 which protect civil liberties.
3) It explains the concepts of separation of powers and checks and balances between the different branches of government.
4) It describes federalism as the division of power between the national and state governments, and how this relationship has changed over time with the national government taking on a larger role.
Reconstruction pt. 1
The document summarizes the key events of the Reconstruction era following the American Civil War from 1865 to 1877. It describes President Lincoln's initial Reconstruction plans, his assassination, and President Johnson's attempts to follow Lincoln's lead. Congress passed the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery and established the Freedmen's Bureau to aid freed slaves. However, southern Black Codes and the rise of groups like the Ku Klux Klan worked against racial equality. Congress passed further amendments and took control of Reconstruction, but racial segregation continued through policies like Sharecropping and Jim Crow laws, bringing into question whether American ideals of freedom and equality were fully achieved.
Reconstruction policy & sc851
The Reconstruction policy had a significant impact in South Carolina. Under Presidential Reconstruction, Black Codes were passed to restrict freedmen's rights and the Freedmen's Bureau helped former slaves but its land redistribution was reversed. Congressional Reconstruction established military districts, required ratification of the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery, and passed the 14th Amendment establishing citizenship rights. However, South Carolina refused to ratify these amendments, leading Congress to require it write a new constitution recognizing the amendments under continued military governance.

Urban problems
Overcrowded and unsanitary housing, inadequate transportation systems, and contaminated water supplies were among the major urban problems faced by growing American cities in the late 19th/early 20th century. Solutions to address these issues included establishing standards for ventilation and plumbing in housing, expanding electric streetcar and subway systems, and implementing water filtration and chlorination. Cities also worked to improve sanitation, reduce crime, and limit fire risks by creating sewer lines and sanitation departments, establishing police forces, and requiring fire-resistant building materials along with sprinkler systems.

The Tet Offensive of 1968 was a surprise attack by the Vietcong on several South Vietnamese cities during the Lunar New Year celebration. Though the US and South Vietnam won militarily, with over 32,000 Vietcong deaths, the offensive shook public support for the war as it showed the Vietcong was not close to defeat as had been portrayed. This caused US news anchor Walter Cronkite and others to lose confidence in the war, and led President Johnson to decide not to seek re-election. Protests against the war escalated amid rising violence, with the assassinations of MLK and RFK. At the chaotic 1968 Democratic Convention, Richard Nixon was elected after promising to restore order and end the Vietnam War.
Unit7 notes3
The Vietnam War led to the reintroduction of the military draft that required men aged 18 to 26 to register. Many men tried to avoid the draft through medical exemptions, university deferments, or other means. African Americans made up a disproportionate number of combat troops despite representing only 10% of the US population. Around 10,000 women also served in Vietnam mostly as nurses. Opposition movements to the war emerged on college campuses led by groups like Students for a Democratic Society who believed the government and corporations had too much control. Protests against the war increased with events like teach-ins and marches drawing thousands. As the war dragged on, divisions grew between those who opposed withdrawing troops and those who felt the US should

General William Westmoreland led US troops in Vietnam and argued that the Army of Vietnam could not defeat the Vietcong without US support. He pursued a war of attrition to exhaust the enemy through casualties. US forces engaged in search and destroy missions that caused civilian resentment. The Vietcong effectively used guerrilla warfare with small, mobile groups and a network of tunnels, while the US relied on strategies like carpet bombing and Agent Orange spraying that failed to defeat the elusive enemy. As the human and financial costs of the war escalated at home, public support for the war declined due to the contrast between government messages and negative news coverage.

The document summarizes key events in the Vietnam War. It details France's colonial rule over Vietnam until the 1940s when Ho Chi Minh led a revolt for independence. The Vietminh defeated France in 1954, dividing Vietnam along the 17th Parallel. Ngo Dinh Diem came to control South Vietnam but canceled elections to reunify. As communism spread, the US increasingly intervened militarily in the 1960s under presidents Kennedy and Johnson to support South Vietnam and contain communism, leading to extensive bombing and ground troop deployment.

This document summarizes key events during John F. Kennedy's presidency, including early difficulties passing legislation, successes like the Peace Corps and increasing the NASA budget, ongoing issues of poverty and civil rights, and Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963.
Unit5 notes5
John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960 over Richard Nixon because people felt the US was losing the Cold War and Kennedy appeared cooler in televised debates. The Bay of Pigs invasion, in which the US backed Cuban exiles to overthrow Fidel Castro, failed and made Kennedy look weak. In 1961, the Soviet Union built the Berlin Wall to stop East Germans from fleeing to West Berlin. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the US discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, brought the world the closest it had been to nuclear war but was resolved through negotiations.
Unit5 notes4
The document discusses several key terms from the 1950s during the Cold War era, including the GI Bill of Rights which provided benefits for veterans, the growth of suburbs as an alternative to overcrowded cities, the Dixiecrats political party formed by Southern Democrats opposed to civil rights, and the 1952 presidential election where Eisenhower defeated Stevenson despite Nixon's controversies. It also mentions the post-war baby boom, Jonas Salk's discovery of the polio vaccine, and the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case that ruled racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
Unit5 notes3
During the Cold War period, fear of communism in the US led President Truman to establish a Federal Employee Loyalty Program and the House Un-American Activities Committee to investigate individuals and groups with potential communist ties. The Hollywood 10 were imprisoned for refusing to testify before HUAC, and many others were blacklisted from their careers. Notable spy cases involved Alger Hiss being imprisoned for passing messages to the Soviets and the Rosenbergs being executed for sharing atomic bomb information with the Soviets. Senator Joseph McCarthy further inflamed tensions with unfounded accusations of communist infiltration, though his credibility declined when he bullied army witnesses on television.
Unit5 notes2
The document summarizes key events in China and the Korean War during the Cold War era. In China, the US-backed nationalist government lost a civil war to the communist forces led by Mao Zedong between 1944-1947. Korea was divided at the 38th parallel in 1945 with the Soviet-backed North and US-backed South. The North launched an attack in 1950 that was pushed back by UN forces led by the US. China later joined by fighting for the North, and an armistice was reached in 1953 leaving the peninsula divided along ideological lines.
Unit5 notes1
The Cold War began due to tensions between the US and USSR after WWII. The US was angry with Stalin for breaking promises made at Yalta and keeping the atomic bomb secret. The USSR wanted to spread communism while the US sought to contain it and give countries self-determination. This led to Europe being divided with an "Iron Curtain" between the Western democratic countries and Eastern bloc nations controlled by the Soviet Union. Germany was split into the capitalist West Germany and communist East Germany allied with the USSR.
Unit4 notes4
The document summarizes key events and changes in the United States during and after World War II. It discusses the Yalta Conference where Stalin, Churchill and FDR met to decide the fate of Germany after the war. It also describes the Nuremberg Trials where Nazi leaders were tried for war crimes and the US occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1952 where the US helped reform Japan. Additionally, it outlines changes in the US economy and society during this period such as increased jobs, migration patterns, the GI Bill and racial tensions that erupted in riots.
Unit4 notes3
This document summarizes key events in the US involvement in World War II against Japan in the Pacific theater. It describes major battles such as Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, and Leyte Gulf, where the US halted Japan's expansion and began to take back islands. It also discusses the bloody battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa as the US moved towards invading Japan. Finally, it covers the Manhattan Project and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, which ultimately led Emperor Hirohito to surrender and end the war.
