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>

klio [65]
Before the government provided welfare programs like home visits from social workers and food stamps, women reformers pioneered outreaches into poor, urban, and immigrant communities. Through their work in clubs, women established settlement houses that served as outposts to promote social welfare.

The mistakes in the footnote are the following:

1. The number one should be written in a superscript. In an essay's text, content that will be footnoted should be marked with a raised number immediately after the lines or ideas that are being cited. This has to be applied the same way when starting the footnote.

2. Three more line spaces should be added before the footnote. By separating the footnote from the text, we can prevent some problems in the reading flow.

3. There needs to be a period at the end. Like in every case, a final period will indicate that the idea is concluded, so you can immediately move to the next footnote.
