To arrange the legislation passed after the Civil War in chronological order, we need to understand the sequence in which they were enacted. Here's an explanation of each legislation and their respective order:
1. Reconstruction Act: This was a series of laws passed by the U.S. Congress in 1867 to address the Reconstruction of the Southern states following the Civil War. It aimed to reorganize the Southern states and ensure the rights of newly freed African Americans.
2. Wade-Davis Bill: This bill was introduced in 1864 by Radical Republicans in response to President Abraham Lincoln's more lenient plan for Reconstruction. However, the bill was pocket vetoed by Lincoln, who preferred a more lenient plan known as the Ten Percent Plan.
3. Fifteenth Amendment: This amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified in 1870. It granted African American men the right to vote, prohibiting any state from denying them suffrage based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
4. Compromise of 1877: This informal agreement resolved the disputed presidential election of 1876 between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel J. Tilden. As part of the compromise, Hayes became president, while federal troops were withdrawn from the Southern states, effectively ending Reconstruction and allowing Southern Democrats to regain political power.
Now, let's arrange the legislation in chronological order:
The correct order is: C) 2, 1, 3, 4
2: Wade-Davis Bill (1864)
1: Reconstruction Act (1867)
3: Fifteenth Amendment (1870)
4: Compromise of 1877
So, the answer is C) 2, 1, 3, 4
