The statement is FALSE.

Once the American Civil War ended in 1865, the victorious Union soon proposed amendments to end slavery and discrimination toward black Americans. The fourteenth amendment was one of them. The law granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, which included former slaves, and guaranteed them equal protection of the laws.

Congress proposed the amendment on June 13, 1866, but in order to be signed into law, it needed the ratification of three-quarters of the states.

All Southern states refused to ratify it, and even though Tennessee's legislators were divided on the matter, the state ended up ratifying it on July 19, it was also the third state of American of doing so. Tennessee not only ratified it but also was readmitted to the Union.

It wasn't until July 28, 1868, that the amendment became part of the Constitution with the ratification of 28 of the 37 states.

Which of the following was legal under slave codes?

Dominik [7]

Answer:

Slavery and enslavement are both the state and the condition of being a slave,[1][2] who is someone forbidden to quit their service for another person (a slaver), while treated as property.[3] Slavery typically involves the enslaved person being made to perform some form of work while also having their location dictated by the slaver. Historically, when people were enslaved, it was often because they were indebted, or broke the law, or suffered a military defeat, and the duration of their enslavement was either for life or for a fixed period of time after which freedom was granted.[4] Individuals, then, usually became slaves involuntarily, due to force or coercion, although there was also voluntary slavery to pay a debt or obtain money for some purpose. In the course of human history, slavery was a typical feature of civilization,[5] and legal in most societies, but it is now outlawed in all countries of the world, except as punishment for crime.[6][7]
