Answer:

As the Thirteenth Amendment prohibitted slavery, African Americans hoped to achieve civil rights and racial integration after the passage of it.

Explanation:

The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution has officially abolished and continues to prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude, the latter except as punishment for a crime. It was approved by the Senate on April 8, 1864, approved by the House of Representatives on January 31, 1865 and formally adopted on December 6, 1865. It was then stated in the announcement of Secretary of State William Seward on December 18. It was the first of the Reconstruction amendments. The President of the United States at the time of the vote was Abraham Lincoln.

After the passing of the 13th Amendment of the Constitution, the African American community expected the following gains:

1. An end to legal Slavery, which did happen very quickly.


2. Many, for the first time, free of slavery could travel to meet loved ones and find jobs in other parts of the country.


3. An independent development of a thriving black culture, church, music etc.


However, the African American population were not able to win universal suffrage and still struggled for over a century with the problem of legalized segregation.

How do you think Native Americans would have responded to news about the Treaty of Tordesillas and the Line of Demarcation
grandymaker [24]

For Native Americans at the time, it would have been next to impossible to understand something like the Treaty of Tordesillas. This treaty intended to partition tracts of land that the Europeans did not even know whether they existed, an action that may have looked like sheer madness and even dishonorable, for the Europeans claimed possession of lands they had not conquered by the force of their arms.Maybe, after some thought and analysis,  Native Americans would have felt outraged as a man living in such a distant place, the Pope in Rome, who had no authority whatsoever for them, made the decision of handing over lands, people,wealth, etc, to two different groups of Europeans. Perhaps, other Native Americans, once they managed to understand that agreement so odd to them, might have found it laughable and it might have prompted them to challenge to take what was their own over their dead bodies.
