Answer:

The 13th Amendment.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Explanation: The 13th amendment stated that the only time American citizens could be enslaved was for punishment for a crime. This law had a particularly adverse effect on African Americans, as they were often wrongfully criminalized and incarcerated at a much higher rate. So in essence, they often remained slaves when they were incarcerated. Before the Civil War slave codes were implemented in the south to restrict the movement of slaves. These laws (for example) stopped slaves from gathering together in groups at churches, from bearing arms and from reading and writing. The idea was to perpetuate and maintain the system of slavery. After the war was over southerners passed Black Codes, which were laws that greatly restricted the lives of free Blacks. After slaves were free, southerners were upset and tried to put Black people back into a position that was as close to slavery as possible. The Black Codes would eventually evolve into Jim Crow laws, which was a system of laws that criminalized Blackness and insured they would be incarcerated and lose their freedom for the most minor of offenses. The primary thing Jim Crow laws did was enforce a system of legal segregation all throughout the south for many years. Its legacy still has a great impact on the US today.

Every person will eventually reach identity achievement in all aspects of their identity. Please select the best answer from the
Masteriza [31]

Identity attainment is the point in a person's life when they have finally gained a "genuine sense of self."

<h3>What is the stage of identity development?</h3>

Reaching this stage necessitates self-discovery and an investigation of life's alternatives, whether that involves traveling, working multiple jobs, or pursuing further education. This stage is not achieved until a person reaches adulthood and has accumulated a wealth of experiences. This can occur when an adult makes significant changes in their life or career.

Examples include businessmen who decide to follow religious vocations in their forties or someone who leaves a wealthy job to pursue art or a considerably lower-paying (but more personally rewarding) job.

Thus the statement is False.
