On March 5, 1946, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill spoke in Fulton, Missouri. Excerpts from that address follow:
"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and
Eastern Europe. All these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence, but to a very high and, in many cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow."
"If the Western democracies stand together in strict adherence to the principles of the United Nations Charter their influence for furthering those principles will be immense, and none is likely to molest them..."

In 1963, President Johnson secured approval from Congress to begin his War on Poverty, which allocated $1 billion to the Office of Economic Opportunity to increase employment programs. President Johnson supported the Civil Rights Act, which outlawed discrimination on the basis of color, race, religion, gender, or national origin in public accommodations and employment.

At the end of the Civil War, at a time period called Reconstruction, the U.S. government planned to rebuild and re-establish the states that had been a part of the Confederacy. Supporting the former slaves as free citizens (freedmen) was one important goal of the federal government. Radical Republicans, mostly Northerners, pushed for federal legislation that granted the vote to freedmen. Gradually, by the 1880s, however, many states enforced policies that restricted the freedmen's right to vote. In that instance, Reconstruction has been evaluated as a failure.
