To determine the best completion for the diagram you mentioned, it's important to understand the historical context of these events related to Reconstruction in the United States.
1. **Expiration of Freedmen’s Bureau (1872)** - This agency helped formerly enslaved people transition to freedom.
2. **Passage of the Enforcement Act (1870)** - This act aimed to enforce the voting rights guaranteed by the Fifteenth Amendment and to curb Klan violence.
3. **Passage of the Fifteenth Amendment (1870)** - This amendment granted African American men the right to vote.
4. **Election of President Ulysses S. Grant (1868)** - Grant’s election solidified support for Reconstruction measures.
The sequence of events typically runs from the establishment of rights to their enforcement and protection. Based on that logic, the answer that best follows the flow and context of Reconstruction would be:
- **Passage of the Fifteenth Amendment** - since it establishes voting rights.
- **Passage of the Enforcement Act** - to enforce those rights against violence and intimidation.
- **Election of President Ulysses S. Grant** - who supported these policies.
- **Expiration of Freedmen’s Bureau** - marking a reduction in federal support.
Therefore, if the diagram is intended to show significant milestones in the progression of black civil rights during and after Reconstruction, an appropriate completion might be the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment as it represents a significant legislative milestone in granting rights to African Americans.
If there is a specific order or additional context you need to include, please provide it, and I can adjust the response accordingly.
