<u>Answer:</u>

The king was referring to the ideals regarding the founding of the documents that had specific promises about the liberty and other rights of life as well as the pursuit that guarantees happiness. This, however, was to be achieved after amending some clauses in it.

Driven in part by economic concerns, and in part by frustration with the straitened social conditions of the South, in the 1870s African Americans began moving North and West in great numbers.
