History
1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

<u>A By forcing Spain to cede Puerto Rico after the Spanish-American War </u>

Explanation:

On November 25, 1897, the Government of Madrid recognized the autonomy of the island, whereby Puerto Rico ceased to exist as a colony. Instead, it became the overseas autonomous province of Spain exactly on par with other Spanish provinces. The Puerto Ricans thus became Spanish nationals and allowed Puerto Rico to have full representation before the Spanish courts in Madrid. The following year, Spain was forced to cede the island to the United States after its defeat in the Spanish-American War.

Explain how freedoms for former slaves were politically limited from 1865 to 1900.
aleksley [76]
<span>Between 1865 and 1866 Black Codes were passed to withhold former slaves from political and civil rights. This means that the Black Codes prohibited former slaves from voting.  With this information, we can unmistakably deduct that former slaves did not have the right to run for any seats whether it be president, governor, senator, mayor etc. Another thing to note is that Black Codes prohibited the carrying of weaponry. While this does not appear as a political matter to the naked eye, it is a widely debated matter in society. Because former slaves were not given this right we can assume that they had no say in this matter politically; they did not have a say in passing laws. </span>
