“And so when communists with ties to Cuba overthrew the government of the Caribbean nation of Grenada in October 1983, Reagan dispatched the U.S. Marines to the island.” is incorrect. US Marines were a tiny portion of the invasion force. It was the 1st and 2nd battalions, 75th Rangers and 82nd Airborne who were the main effort, 90% of the ground troops. Army Soldiers not Marines were who Reagan dispatched to take over the island of Grenada.

The Patriots protested the British troops sent to Boston to enforce unpopular taxation measures passed by British parliament that did not have American representation
This is definitely going to be a very interesting period of American history to learn about –for many its a forgotten time period. Lots of people think that after the Civil War, things were united and went back to “normal”, however, I’m sure we will learn in this chapter that this was far from the truth.
This shows how Black Codes were meant to keep control and regulations over freedmen even after slavery ended. Even though some rights were given, the laws mostly limited their freedom.
How was president Abraham Lincoln able to piece back together the United States? After all the problems that was going on for years, it’s gonna take a long time to put it back together.
These so-called Lincoln governments sprang up in pockets where Union support existed like Louisiana, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Unsurprisingly, these were also the places that were exempted from the liberating effects of the Emancipation Proclamation.
