Answer:  Black Codes

Explanation:

The 14th Amendment guaranteed rights to life, liberty and property to all citizens born in the United States -- including those who formerly were slaves in states in the South.  The amendment was ratified in 1868, following the Civil War, and was one of three amendments (XIII, XIV, XV) which were aimed at making black Americans full citizens of the USA.  

After the Civil War ended, many Southern states still tried to block full access to citizenship rights by blacks.  For instance, free public education was established in Southern states, but legislative actions barred black children from attending those schools.  Blacks were also barred from voting, serving on juries, certain types of employment opportunities, etc.  These were the sorts of things referred to as "Black Codes."

The 14th Amendment stated:  <em>All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.</em>

In what way did the united kingdom, france, and the soviet union deal with germany similarly in the years before world war II
Kitty [74]
Essentially, the United Kingdom, France and the Soviet Union all allowed Germany to pursue its expansionist goals.  They believed that giving concessions to Adolph Hitler was better than trying to oppose him at that point.

In the case of the United Kingdom and France, their leaders signed the Munich Pact with Hitler in 1938, allowing him to annex the Sudentland in Czech territory as part of Germany.  Before long Hitler went on to take control of all of Czechoslovakia and later would invade Poland, and the British and French found themselves going to war with Germany after all.

In the case of the Soviet Union, the USSR and Germany signed a non-aggression pact in 1939, promising they wouldn't go to war against each other. That essentially gave Hitler permission to invade Poland without worrying about Soviet opposition.  But by 1941, Hitler was breaking his promise and pursued an invasion of the Soviet Union.
