When Reconstruction ended in 1877, the South was still in horrible shape. Conservative whites began to do things that, in effect, restored the South to its pre-war condition by returning African-Americans to their pre-war condition. Without federal troops, black people had no protection from this corruption. Fraud and violence swept the land. Progress for African-Americans in the South basically came to standstill for the next 100 years.

Planning and process of repairing/replacing hardware, location, and processes following a disaster.
The reestablishment of the structure and function of ecosystems. Ecological restoration is the process of returning an ecosystem as closely as possible to predisturbance conditions and functions. Implicit in this definition is that ecosystems are naturally dynamic. It is therefore not possible to recreate a system exactly. The restoration process reestablishes the general structure, function, and dynamic but self-sustaining behavior of the ecosystem.

Restoring the coverage of the glans through either surgical or non-surgical means. The restoration process is long and complicated and the restored 'foreskin' has few of the attributes of the original except that it very loosely covers the glans to a greater or lesser extent.

Because their disorder is psychological rather than physical the presence of a semblance of a foreskin again satisfies their desires and they claim increased sexual pleasure.

If a company has been struck off at the end of a winding up it can only be restored within two years - but if struck off for another reason (such as failure to file returns) it can be restored within twenty years.
