class 10 ppt democracy and diversity
Social diversities take different forms in different societies. In Belgium, people live in different regions and speak different languages. In Sri Lanka, linguistic and regional differences are prominent. Social divisions can overlap, such as class and religion divisions among blacks and whites in the USA. This has led to deep social tensions and discrimination in some places, like Northern Ireland among Catholics and Protestants. However, in countries like the Netherlands where Catholics and Protestants are equally likely to be rich or poor, there are no conflicts and it is easier to accommodate differences. The way identities are perceived, how political leaders raise demands, and how the government reacts to demands can determine whether social divisions result in conflicts or accommodation.

Social diversities take different forms in different societies. In Belgium, people live in different regions and speak different languages. In Sri Lanka, linguistic and regional differences are prominent. Social divisions can overlap, such as class and religion divisions among blacks in the US who are poor and discriminated against, while whites tend to be rich. This can lead to deep social tensions and conflicts, as seen in Northern Ireland among Catholics and Protestants. However, when social divisions are cross-cutting, like in the Netherlands where Catholics and Protestants are equally likely to be rich or poor, there is less conflict and it is easier to accommodate differences. The outcomes of social politics can range from peaceful accommodation to ethno-political conflicts like those seen in

Reconstruction (2)
Reconstruction took place from 1865-1877 to rebuild the shattered nation after the Civil War. There were competing visions of what freedom meant for the 4 million newly freed African Americans. Blacks sought equality, mobility, and land ownership, while many whites saw freedom as maintaining black subservience. The Freedmen's Bureau helped blacks, but Black Codes restricted their rights. Reconstruction had two phases - presidential Reconstruction saw former Confederates regain power while Radical Reconstruction expanded black rights through amendments banning slavery and guaranteeing citizenship and suffrage, though they did not ensure full equality. Reconstruction ultimately ended as northern support waned.
