The Reconstruction Act was a series of laws passed by Congress between 1867 and 1868 after the American Civil War. The acts divided the Confederacy into military districts and empowered military leaders to assist in registering African-American male voters and establishing new governments in former Confederate states. President Andrew Johnson vetoed the First Reconstruction Act, […]
The failure of Reconstruction after the Civil War was due to resistance from Confederate loyalists, economic hardship for plantation owners and farmers, inadequate law enforcement, and waning support from Northern Reconstruction supporters. This eroded confidence in reconstruction efforts and left racial inequality issues unresolved for future generations. The failure of Reconstruction in the post-Civil War […]
The Reconstruction Era followed the US Civil War from 1865 to 1877, attempting to reintegrate Confederate states into the Union. President Lincoln’s 10% plan was followed by Andrew Johnson, but Radical Republicans wanted stronger policies to ensure racial equality. They ratified three amendments to the constitution and implemented a plan involving military districts and new […]
Reconstruction efforts in the US after the Civil War failed due to resistance, the economy, and poor law enforcement. Specific factors included the 1876 presidential election, increased violence by the Ku Klux Klan, and Democrats regaining power in the South. Oppositional aggression and violence increased as African Americans were pushed to participate as equals. Southern […]
Social reconstruction is a philosophy that promotes peaceful coexistence and unity through non-violent methods to resolve disputes. It aims to address past abuse through reconciliation and strengthen appreciation of differences. The theory suggests the development of a national identity through cooperative communities to prevent violence. Education is key to understanding shortcomings and creating societies based […]
TRAM flap breast reconstruction uses tissue from the abdomen to create a new breast after a mastectomy. There are two types of procedures, with the free flap being similar to DIEP reconstruction. Recovery time is longer than with implants and there is a risk of abdominal hernia. TRAM flap breast reconstruction, or rectus abdominis myocutaneous […]
3D reconstruction uses input data to recreate an object in a virtual space. There are two approaches: active and passive. It has medical and law enforcement uses, and is used in creating 3D graphics for film and television. 3D reconstruction is a method by which an object is recreated within a three-dimensional (3D) virtual space […]
Image reconstruction creates 2D or 3D images from incomplete data, such as medical imaging. Noise and incomplete data are issues, but iterative reconstruction can filter noise and create a full picture. Image reconstruction can also create 3D renderings, useful in medicine and archaeology. Image reconstruction is the creation of a two- or three-dimensional image from […]
Vehicular accident reconstruction uses engineering principles, mathematics, and physics to determine the cause of accidents. Investigators collect physical evidence, question witnesses, and examine vehicles to create a computer diagram. The final report is used as evidence in criminal or civil cases. The science of investigating and analyzing vehicle collisions is known as vehicular accident reconstruction. […]
Accident reconstruction specialists come from various fields and require education and experience to become expert witnesses. They reconstruct accidents to determine responsibility, but conflicting opinions can arise. There is no specific educational path, but many have engineering or physics backgrounds and law enforcement experience. Expert witnesses must be licensed and recognized by peers. Casualty reconstruction […]
