Both answers are right. :-)
In order to check the answers for the questions, let's go through the options and explanations for each one:
1) In their Reconstruction policies, both President Lincoln and President Johnson insisted upon:
a. Sworn statements of allegiance from a majority of citizens.
Sworn statements of allegiance were not a specific requirement insisted upon by both President Lincoln and President Johnson during Reconstruction. This option is incorrect.
b. Immediate elections in all Southern states.
This is an accurate statement. Both President Lincoln and President Johnson insisted on the immediate elections in all Southern states as an important part of their Reconstruction policies. This option is correct.
c. Southern approval of the 13th Amendment.
Southern approval of the 13th Amendment was an important aspect of the Reconstruction policies, but it was not insisted upon by both President Lincoln and President Johnson uniformly. President Lincoln focused more on reconciling the nation and reuniting states, while President Johnson's approach was more lenient towards the South. This option is partially correct, but not completely.
d. A fair redistribution of land.
Neither President Lincoln nor President Johnson insisted on a fair redistribution of land as part of their Reconstruction policies. This option is incorrect.
So, the correct answer for the first question is:
a. Sworn statements of allegiance from a majority of citizens.
For the second question:
2) Frederick Jackson Turner's thesis held that the frontier:
a. Destroyed the West and the Americans who went there.
Frederick Jackson Turner's thesis, known as the "Frontier Thesis," did not suggest that the frontier destroyed the West and the Americans who went there. This option is incorrect.
b. Helped create the strong, individualistic American spirit.
This is an accurate statement. Turner argued that the frontier played a significant role in shaping the American character, fostering individualism, and cultivating a unique American spirit. This option is correct.
c. Would continue to exist for at least another 50 years.
Turner's thesis focused on the importance of the frontier in the shaping of American society up to that point in history. It did not predict the future existence of the frontier for another specific timeframe. This option is incorrect.
d. Had little effect on the American character.
The main premise of Turner's thesis was exactly the opposite – he argued that the frontier had a profound impact on the American character. This option is incorrect.
So, the correct answer for the second question is:
b. Helped create the strong, individualistic American spirit.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
