Black Codes were established in the South immediately after the Civil War in an effort to a. integrate freedmen into American society
b. enforce the Emancipation Proclamation
c. expand educational opportunities
d. limit the rights of newly freed African Americans

Option: d. limit the rights of newly freed African Americans

Explanation:

After the Civil War in America, slaves became free. The new changes were not seen as suitable for the White Southerns because they believed that African Americans were to be controlled and regulated rather than setting them free. The South issued sets of Black Codes called Jim Crow Laws to separate African Americans from the whites. These laws implemented to reduce slaves rights and to force them to work as labour on small wages. Black Codes were a  part of the plan of the Southern white as they were trying to maintain political power and crush the slaves, newly freed slaves.

The correct answer is the following.

The battles that I choose are the Battle of California, and the Chapultepec Castle, in Mexico City.

The historical newspaper headlines for a U.S. newspaper whose editors agreed with manifest destiny would be this one:

"Fulfilling Our Manifested Destiny, the US takes over the California territory.

The second headline for a newspaper in Mexico would be: "Ferocius defense by the Mexican cadets was not enough. The US entered the Castle."

The US Army was more prepared than the Mexican Army in those battles. And in the case of the Chapultepec Castle Battle, it was defended by young Mexican cadets that had no experience at all to face the experimented American troops. In a matter of hours, the Castle had fallen.
