The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution gave citizenship to all people born in the United States or naturalized in the country. This action included former black slaves.  It was ratified in 1868 and was part of the period after the American Civil War known as the Reconstruction years.

Answer 2

Amendments, the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution dealt most directly with the outcome of the Civil War and the condition of the freed people.

On July 28, 1868, the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified. The amendment grants citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States" which included former slaves who had just been freed after the Civil War.

This most likely affected the White men who had slaves to do their Farming, this would cause them to come behind on their crops because they arent used to doing their own work.
