The main point of the 14th Amendment is to grant citizenship to the slaves.

Answer: B

Explanation

Among all the amendments, the fourteenth amendment is the most important.

This amendment shows that every individuals born in the U.S are citizens by birth including African Americans.

This amendment is important because it was put forward at a time when slavery existed, the slaves being African Americans.

Through this many of the former slaves were provided with US citizenship.

The Civil rights of 1866 established this concept as right many years back. But it was enforced only when it became an amendment.

In this excerpt, the writer is reminiscing about his childhood. The writer uses the words, "kindness" and "indulgence" to describe his parents. I gather that he was well taken care of and that his parents were not controlling tyrants. The writer also states that he felt "fortunate" for his life after mingling with other families.

Identical twins have exactly the same genotype, including sex.

It is not possible to have identical twins of various genders. Identical twins are all the time of a similar sex since they frame from a solitary zygote that contains either male (XY) or female (XX) sex chromosomes. Children boy/girl twins can't be identical twins. A lady's odds of having identical twins are not identified with age, race or family history.

2 fact and supporting details on why this time period called''the Dark ages''

postnew [5]

1 One reason why the Middle Ages are often called the Dark Ages is because, historians don't know as much about this time. In some ways, this period of time has been lost to history. Many important records from this time have not survived.

2 Not many people knew how to read or write. It could also be because of the near total loss of classical knowledge that had been gathered by the Greeks and Romans. This was lost to Europeans, but the Muslim world managed to keep hold of it and it was party through them that classic texts and knowledge were finally passed back to Europe.

Hope this helps, God bless!
