After the american civil war, the reconstruction period followed which witnessed far reaching changes in america’s political life.

a. true

b. false

True.

The reconstruction was a period of violent readjustment in which the racist Southern powers retook power and re-excluded African-Americans from public life (African-Americans held US Senate seats after the Civil War).

So, many changes were made including bringing back Jim Crow laws.

on 6 november american voters will elect members of the house of representatives and the senate, which together are called congress.

both houses of congress are currently controlled by the republican party, which backs president donald trump.

the democrats think they can win control of the house of representatives this year by winning a majority of seats.

doing so would let them block or delay the president’s plans by refusing to enact them.

all 435 seats in the house of representatives are up for election.

if the democrats want to take control of the house by having the most seats, they’re going to have to claim at least 23 from the republicans.
