How did the American government change after the war?

After the American Civil War, the government underwent significant changes, particularly through the Reconstruction era. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments abolished slavery, granted citizenship rights, and ensured voting rights for African American men, respectively. Additionally, the federal government increased its role in regulating civil rights and integrating formerly enslaved individuals into society. This marked a shift toward a more active government in social issues, setting the stage for future civil rights advancements.

How did the wartime relocation of many Americans affect US government and society?

The wartime relocation of many Americans, particularly Japanese Americans during World War II, led to significant changes in US government policy and societal attitudes. The internment highlighted issues of civil liberties, prompting a reevaluation of government practices regarding racial discrimination and the protection of individual rights. It also fostered a broader awareness of systemic racism, ultimately influencing future civil rights movements. Additionally, the government's acknowledgment of these injustices, leading to reparations and formal apologies decades later, signified a shift towards accountability and recognition of minority rights in American society.

How can questioning society change the future?

If we question our expectations of society and expect more from our government the possibilities are endless. I feel that we are such a silent population nothing in comparison to what our parents and grandparents did during the civil rights movement of the 60s. We as a society need to demand more from our government and from each other. Until we question our surroundings, society and government there will be no dramatic change.
