Answer: B) state laws and customs upheld the constitutional amendments

Explanation: State laws and customs did not uphold the constitutional amendments (13th, 14th, & 15th amendments). In fact, the era of the "Jim Crow Laws" was on the horizon, significantly limiting all rights of African-Americans and keeping them in a state of virtual slavery.

The correct answer is B.

The 13th amendment to the US Constitution abolished slavery in the states where it still existed. Meanwhile, the 14th and 15th amendments to the US Constitution guaranteed citizenship for former slaves and equality of rights for all US citizens without discrimination in terms of race.

<u>State law did not ratify those provisions, and the best example are the Jim Crow Laws</u>, enacted at the state level in order to block the access to voting to black citizens. These laws could not exclude black citizens explicitly but, instead, they introduced requirements for voting that in the end ruled out mostly black citizens, such as a minimum income level or literacy tests. The ultimate aim of such laws was to prevent black citizens from voting this is why, after a while, the Supreme Court ended up abolishing them. But as soon as one law was abolished, a new one was ready.

The enforcement of the equality of rights in voting included in the reconstruction amendments, would not be materialized until 1965 with the enactment of the Voting Rights Act (VRA).

Analyze and explain life in the American colonies, focusing upon reasons for colonial foundation and settlement, regional differ
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

New England Colonies - These colonies were founded by puritan separatists. The main reason was to flee religious persecution. Life there was controlled unders strict religious principles, and societal structure was very egalitarian.

Mid-Atlantic Colonies - These colonies were founded by private companies that obtained royal authorization (royal charters). They were characterized by a higher degree of religious diversity, with denominations such as a quakers, catholics, and presbyterians living there.

Southern Colonies - they were the last to be founded. These colonies had a warmer climate that allowed for the development of large cash crop plantations. These plantations led to the importation of thousands of African slaves. However, the backcountry of these colonies was very different, settled mainly by poor white farmers who lived off subsistance agriculture (many of them coming from Scotland and the Ulster).
