Hey there! Hello!
I would agree with this statement. The fourteenth amendment has to do with voiding laws/actions that deprive anyone of their constitutional rights, especially members of the African American community. It also has to do with citizenship, defining a citizen of America as anyone who was born on American soil – including African Americans. That citizenship can also not be taken from you as a result.
The fourteenth amendment also covers things like due process clause, equal protection clause, and general fair treatment of every American human being. I encourage you to do your own research on the topic in your spare time, but for now, your answer is True.
Hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask any additional questions if you have any.

The person on the five dollar bill is Abraham Lincoln, best known as the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln was at the center of the Civil War from 1861 to 1865, in which 11 states separated from the United States to form the Confederate States of America, also known as the Confederacy. While it seemed like the Union would lose the war at first, Lincoln put his faith in generals that helped the Union win the war. Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address after the Battle of Gettysburg was won by the Union. Additionally, per the thirteenth amendment that Lincoln proposed, slavery was abolished in the Union. Lincoln therefore is significant in American history for freeing slaves and helping the union win the Civil War.

Movies
Today's movies are characterized by having great special effects. Science-fiction movies have a lot of them, and today's computes allow to make perfect images.
Alcohol usage and legality
Nowadays, in the United States, everyone can consume alcohol. This law only restricts the consume of alcohol for people under the age of 21 years old.
In other countries, as Spain is at the age of 18 years old.
There was a rising number of women who studied at colleges, at who got degrees.
<span>Women then could work as nurses, teachers, librarians, and social workers. But there were only a few doctors, lawyers, or architects </span>
Women started to express their freedom. They were known as flappers, and they had short haircuts and dresses. But for half of their society, this was still scandalous.
Many criminals got rich by introducing illegal alcohol into the country. Gangsters created a huge business with this product.
The Eighteenth Amendment banned the manufacture, sale, transportation, and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
In resume, even some part of the population stopped drinking the consumption of alcohol was still high. And the country had become dangerous because of the contraband.
During World War I many African Americans left the South to take jobs in northern factories. This movement, the Great Migration, continued during the 1920s. Sadly, they didn't escape racism.
During this decade racial tensions continued and the Ku Klux Klan took importance. This racist group harassed Catholics, Jews, and immigrants, as well as African Americans.
Lots of people from Europe kept arriving at this new growing country, filling up all the cities.
Movies
The Jazz was the most important style. It was developed in New Orleans. African American mixed spirituals, European music, and African rhythms. When they moved to the North, they expanded the Jazz
Jazz!!!
<span>Most old people didn't like Jazz, but young Americans loved the music. But over this, they loved the dances that went along with it. The most popular dances were the Charleston, the Toddle, and the Shimmy. </span>
One of the most famous Jazz musicians was Louis Armstrong. He was known for his solo numbers of trumpet. His method, which consisted on stepping out from the band to perform a solo, was an innovation.
Movies became the new passion. They had no sound, but a cinema was something new and exciting. People closed theaters to see Westerns, romances, and stories about gangsters. One of the most famous movies was the 1927 movie "The Jazz Singer".
As expected, the movies quickly became big business. By the end of the decade, Americans were buying 95 million movie tickets each week, a huge number considering that the United States population was 123 million. Young people that were fans of movie stars, copied their hair and clothing.
<span>Some of the most popular actos at the time were Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, or Mary Pickford. This last one, was also a smart businesswoman. She was one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood and a founder of United Artists, who became one of film companies with more success.

Both western europeans and latin american people could immigrate "freely" under that immigration act. The act was intended as a mean to limit the immigration of people whose ancestry was "non white", while increasing the number of "white" inmigrants to guarantee a more homogeneous population in the US. The first group of people was allowed to immigrate because many people living in the US came from the british islands, and in the case of latin american people, since they were a mixture of european and native american parents, they were considered as "white", too. People not allowed to immigrate under this act: asians and east europeans.
