Answer 1

Answer: D

Answer 2

Answer: A

Answer 3

Answer: The ideal answer should include:

• 
  The election of 1876 pitted Democrat Samuel Tilden against Republican Rutherford B. Hayes.
  


• 
  Tilden won the popular vote, but disputes over the results in Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida prevented him from claiming victory.
  


• 
  A specially appointed congressional electoral commission failed to resolve the conflict.
  


• 
  To break the logjam, the Democrats agreed that Hayes could assume office in return for the withdrawal of all remaining federal troops from the South.
  


• 
  The Republicans tacitly agreed that Reconstruction was over and that blacks in the region should fend for themselves.
  


• 
  As a consequence, white Southerners were free to reconstitute the prewar racial status quo.
  

Answer 4

Answer: The ideal answer should include:

• 
  In 1866 the Central Pacific Railroad began importing thousands of Chinese men to work on the transcontinental railroad.
  


• 
  When the railroad was completed in 1869, many Chinese sought work elsewhere in the West.
  


• 
  By 1870, 40,000 Chinese lived in California and represented fully one-quarter of the states wage earners.
  


• 
  They found work in factories, shops, and agriculture.
  


• 
  White workers began to cry unfair competition against this Asian group that was becoming increasingly integrated into the regions economy.
  

Answer 5

Answer: The ideal answer should include:

• 
  Soon after the wars end, southern blacks set about building free communities devoted to the social and educational welfare of their own people.
  


• 
  Differences among blacks based on income, jobs, culture, and skin color at times inhibited institution-building.
  


• 
  For the most part, postbellum black communities united around the principle that freedom from slavery should also mean full citizenship rights.
  


• 
  Networks of freedpeople formed self-help organizations.
  


• 
  All over the South, black families asserted their independence.
  


• 
  Tangible signs of the new emerging black communities, such as schools and churches, infuriated most southern whites.
