abraham lincoln
andrew johnson
james garfield
chester arthur

Explanation:

• Question 14: The Third Force Act (also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act) gave President Grant authority to use the U.S. military to disband the Ku Klux Klan. The Tenure in Office Act was about presidential removal of cabinet members. The Fifteenth Amendment was about voting rights regardless of race. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery.
• Question 15: President Abraham Lincoln proposed the Ten Percent Reconstruction plan. It stated that a state could be reintegrated into the Union when 10% of its voters (based on the 1860 voter list) took an oath of allegiance to the U.S. Andrew Johnson had a different, more lenient plan (not the Ten Percent Plan). James Garfield and Chester Arthur were later presidents (Garfield in 1881, Arthur after Garfield's assassination) and not involved in Reconstruction plans at the time the Ten Percent Plan was proposed.

Answer:

1. Third Force Act
2. Abraham Lincoln
