The main point of the Fourteenth Amendment was giving citizenship to the slaves.

After the passing of the Thirteenth Amendment which officially abolished slavery in the US, the 14th Amendment (passed in 1868) granted citizenship and equal civil and legal rights to African Americans stating that "<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.</em>"

During which time period was the growth of fish captures greatest? view available hint(s) during which time period was the growt

posledela

Answer:

The correct option is;

1955 to 1970

Explanation:

In the two decades after 1950 the marine and inland fisheries growth rate was 6 % per year reaching 56 million tonnes in 1969 from 18 million tonnes in 1950. There was a reduction in growth rate to 2 million tonnes to 2 % per annum reducing further to about 0 % in the 1990s.

The above trend is consistent with most world's fishing areas, as they reached their captured fisheries production maximum potential.

On the other hand, aquaculture production growth rate has increased from 5% per annum between 1950 to 1969 to 10% per annum in 1990 forward.
