Thesis: The role of the federal government was remolded after the events of the Civil War, for it now created laws protecting the rights of African Americans in the aspect of race relations; it also greatly encouraged expansion in the West through the federal removal of the remaining Native Americans as well as the offering of cheap land to settlers.
After the Civil War ended, the US federal government changed dramatically due to race relations like the Jim Crow Laws and the idea of westward expansion for an opportunity at a better life.
The end of the Civil War saw the changing of many policies in the federal government relating to the treatment of African Americans and that towards westward expansion with land grants and the eviction of Native Americans.
During and after the civil war the US had to decide how to change the federal government to better the North and the South sides. Bills like the Emancipation Proclamation and 13th Amendment which freed slaves and sealed the war as a North victory. But Lincoln's 10year plan and Reconstruction helped the South get back on its feet afterward.
Although it would be predicted that the end of the Civil War would bring unity and a permanent comprise between the North and South, conflicts were still inevitable. The North's economic plan differed from that of the South. The freemen's wish to be submitted to society was still persistent.The economic conflicts and traditional racial beliefs that lingered before the War even began would continue after the surrender at Appomattox; such problems would limit the changes that conflicting sides fought for.
As a result of the Civil War, the federal government had expericenced a numerous amount of changes in the way African Americans were seen and treated in society, as well as economic develpment occured with the start of Reconstruction.
Thesis: The role of the federal government greatly changed due to westward expansion as it offered a new, better life to all people; and race relations which included new laws for African
Americans.
As a result to the Civil War the federal governments role in race relations provided benefits and rights to African Americans, however many of them were disregarded and not upheld by southern states, and the governments role in the western expansion increased in which they provided lands to citizens through the Homestead Act and the expansion of railroad.
Thesis:
The role of the federal government was reshaped in a way that it was redirected towards African Americans since the government Amended laws in order to protect them and race relation issues also included Lincoln's Emancipation Proclaimation; also federal role became more generous since the passing of the Homestead Act which provided free acres of land to those who were willing to migrate to the west.
The role of the federal government had been altered after the devastating Civil War. The government created new laws to protect African Americans,the government also promoted westward expansion by sponsoring cheap land but as people moved westward many Native Americans had to the price because they were being removed.
As Civil War devatated the nation the role of the federal government has greatly increased. The federal government had created amendments to protect the newly free African Americans, it also gave land grants and encouraged americans to settle westward for cheap, new land.
Since the drafting of the constitution, in which the government of the U.S was officially formed, it has shifted and fluctuated to match the necesities of its nation and it proved true to its past by once again adjusting to the time of the Civil War by taking a stance against slavery by forming the Freedman's Bureau and the Emancipation Proclamation and also recognizing the feeling of Manifest Destiny and encouraging it by the issuance of lang grants and clearing way for the white settler.
The role of the federal government changed after the Civil War in that it created landmark legislation for the freedom of African Americans and it promoted westward expansion by forced removal of the Native Americans and cheap land to buy.
before the civil war, the government was focused on trying to keep the union together and peaceful. After the war the government tried to make it easier for former slaves to live and promoted western expansion which would further the economy in a way.
My thesis:
As the Civil War began, happened, and ended the main reason for it was that of African Americans' freedom, the Federal goverment's changing role was seen through the race relations and westward expansion of the U.S that took place between 1861-1877.
The Second Great Awakening was a time of discovery and expression. People were discovering things that they had not known about whether it be physical or simply psychological. Due to those discoveries they expressed what they believed that the most beneficial for the topic at hand. There were many great leaders during this time period who impacted this time period and many events that were major impacts of this. All in all, the North's Great Awakening influenced abolition and temperance more than the cult of domesticity or a utopian society.
The end to the Civil War was the start of a new federal government. There were now greater encouragements for expansion with persuasion by cheap land, and race relations were promoted by the new laws that began protecting the BLacks of America.
Though the Civil War was fought in hopes to end the controversial issue of slavery between the North and South, it continued to show the distinct beliefs, customs, and political tension between the two regions that led to the changes in the federal government such as refocusing on the protection of African American rights through the issuing of the Emancipation of Proclamation in declaring the freedom of all slaves, and the encouragement of westward expansion through the Homestead Act that provided free land grants to white settlers.
The role of the federal government changed because even after the creation of constitutional Amendments, new organizations for the betterment of African Americans still had to battle the newly formed movements that restricted rights of freed slaves; and acts related to Westward Expansion as well as the ideology that the U.S had a divine mission to extend its power and civilization across the breadth of North America promoted settlement in the western frontier.
By the end of the Civil War, The federal government went through many different changes due to the race relations against the whites and blacks. Which established the Jim Crow Laws. Also the federal government changed due to westward expansion as the government had a force removal of Native Americans.
The Civil War greatly changed the role of federal goverment due to race relations involving; Jim Crow Laws, Emancipation Proclamation, and 13th amendement.Also the wave of westward expansion involved; land grants, eviction of Native americans , homestead act and railroad expansion.
The role of federal government changed because of the expansion of federal power due to Congressional legislation during the Civil War and Reconstruction.
During Civil War Time and post-war time major changes were occurring in relation to America’s federal government. The presence of Abraham Lincoln during this time period assisted in African American success in the fight for equality. Post Civil war brought upon Radical Republicans who wanted to alter the South, mainly by changing and moderating their economic growth.
After the Civil War, an era of Reconstruction took place, distinctly changing the role of the federal government; Congress now began to enact laws that would protect the rights of all citizens, no matter what race. And although Native Americans were still subject to federal removal, due to America's continuous westward expansion, the federal government now attempted to do it in a less severe way.
As a result of the Civil War, the federal government role in westward expansion affected citizens through the Homestead Act and in race relations supplemented guranteed rights to African Americans, yet ignored those in conflicting southern and border states.
As a result of the Civil War in the United States, the role of the federal government greatly changed due to the further stress of the freedom of slaves as well as plans for reconstruction.
The role of the federal governement changed drastically after the Civil War in areas such as race realations with the ratification of the 13 and 15th Amendment in 1865 and 1868 and the government's role also changed economically with the issuing of greenbacks.
The end of the Civil War brought about significant changes in the federal government. Since the North won, the role of the federal government favored that of appealing to the North, that is protecting and helping the African Americans. This type of protection led to land grants for the African Americans to traverse west as well as created acts that increased race relations with African Americans.
Thesis: After the events of the Civil War in the time period between 1861-1877 changed in many different ways. It created new laws and new views on African American treatments(from slavery to anti-slavery.) Also, westward expansion took place. With the westward expansion, made Native Americans once again forced to move even farther away from their homes.
The events during and after the Civil War made America witness a new drastic change in terms of racial relations, which protected rights of African Americans and also increased tensions, and highly encouraged expansion throughout the West.
The years that marked the period from 1861-1877 marked a drastic change in the federal government both on a social and economic scale. While the civil war had primarily imposed the question of slavery and economic divergence, Reconstruction in 1863 silenced sectional aggression toward the issue of slavery and race relations. Economically, the North dominated in industry and progression.
The federal government changed its role because even after the amendment of new of constitutional rights for African Americans, new organizations for the betterment of African Americans still had to battle the newly formed movements that restricted rights of freed slaves; and new legislation related to Westward Expansion as well as the ideology that the U.S had a divine mission to extend its power and civilization across the breadth of North America promoted settlement on the western frontier.
The role of the federal government has been changing since the making of the U.S. constitution. It continues to change throughout the Civil War and post-Civil War era due to Africans fight for civil rights freedoms, racial elations, and also due to the continuous growth and expansion of the U.S.
The role of the federal government was reconstructed as a result of the Civil War in regard to race relations, for it now passed laws protecting rights of African Americans and also the forced removal of Native Americans and cheap land, which brought about westward expansion.
As the Civil War came to an end, the role of the federal government shifted since the time of Reconstruction had begun, namely with the newly protected rights of the African Americans as well as the constant push towards the west under the rules of Manifest Destiny.
The role of the federal government after the end of the Civil War undertook some changes in the areas of race relations, which were now focusing on African American civil rights, and economic developement, which had been severly hurt in the south during the war.
In terms of lasting impacts on The United States, the Civil War greatly contributed to the foundation America lays on today and the role the government played in our nation. Post Civil War, the concept of Manifest Destiny emerged and western expansion started to kick off along with new stuggles dealing with race relations and civil rights.
Thesis: The role of the federal government changed as a result of the Civil War during the period 1861-1877 due to race relations and westward expansion.
The role of the federal government had been reshaped as a result after the Civil War. Laws would be created protecting African Americans rights as free Americans. During this time period the government also encouraged expansion in the West by offering land grands evicting many Native Americans.

Since the role of the federal government was directed towards African Americans because the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were made to protect them, issues dealing with race relations arose; also westward expansion changed the role of the federal government due to beliefs such as Manifest Destiny that encouraged cheap land and land grants and basically cleared the way for the whites who believed in this.
