Using force to keep African Americans from voting.
Most African Americans had not learned to read while they were slaves.
European missionaries introduced Christianity to the Native Americans.
President Grant helped to pass The Enforcements Act to prevent Southerners from using fear to shut African Americans out of the political process.
Many of the Native Americans died of disease from being around the Europeans. Colonists also traded with Africa and African Americans became more efficient.

apostrophe, such as in "could've" for "could have" or "don't" for "do not".
When you select it, it removes every apostrophe in the story.
If the plural noun has possession, indicate it by using an apostrophe after the S.
A contraction is made of two words with an apostrophe. Note the apostrophe replaces a letter.
The contraction of 'will not' is won't.
You only use an apostrophe in it's when it is a contraction of it is. If you are using ITS to describe something belonging to IT, such as "It was wagging its tail," then the tail belongs to it and so its does not have an apostrophe.
A noun that shows ownership using an apostrophe is a possessive noun.
No, unless your name has an apostrophe in it or you are using it in the possessive.
If you are indicating possession (Achilles' heal) use an apostrophe at the end of the word. If you are simply stating his name, there is no apostrophe.
There is no particularly special ways of using them. Common times of seeing one is in the names that start with O, like O'Neill or O'Connell etc. In those cases the apostrophe is between the O and the next letter, with no spaces. Both the O and the other letter are capitalised.There is no particularly special ways of using them.

It is an apostrophe that is used in a word like couldn't. Instead of could not you use an apostrophe to make it in to couldn't and that is how is used. It can also be used with numbers, like for example 1954 using an apostrophe like this '54 makes it an apostrophe that shows contraction.
