Hopefully these are correct. 💀
No, the correct answer is H) 13th amendment.
To arrive at this answer, let's break down the explanation for each choice:
A) The 15th amendment, ratified in 1870, granted African American men the right to vote, but it did not abolish or prohibit slavery.
B) Black codes were laws enacted in several states after the Civil War, which aimed to restrict the rights and freedoms of newly freed African Americans. However, they did not abolish or prohibit slavery.
C) The Compromise of 1877 resolved the disputed presidential election of 1876 and marked the end of the Reconstruction Era. It did not involve the abolition or prohibition of slavery.
D) The grandfather clause was a law or provision that allowed individuals to be exempt from certain requirements (like voting qualifications) if their fathers or grandfathers had been eligible to vote before a specific date. It is not directly related to the abolition or prohibition of slavery.
E) Jim Crow laws were a series of state and local laws passed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States. These laws enforced racial segregation and discrimination, but they did not address slavery.
F) Literacy tests were used as a means to prevent African Americans from exercising their right to vote. They were not related to the abolition or prohibition of slavery.
G) The poll tax was a fee imposed on voters, which disproportionately affected African Americans and served as a barrier to voting. It did not deal with the abolition or prohibition of slavery.
H) The 13th amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1865, abolished and prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted. It is the correct answer in this case.
Therefore, the correct answer is the 13th amendment, marked as option H.
