The correct answer is declare war.  

Only Congress (the Legislative branch) has the power to declare war. The last time Congress declared war was in 1941 following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The U.S. has still been in many armed conflicts since then, but even though we call them "wars" (Vietnam War, Korean War, etc) they have not technically been declared wars.

After the Civil War, liberty was defined as the rights of all men to be treated equally under the law. The US government did their best to ensure that this happened, by implementing the 14th and 15th amendment. These amendments granted citizenship to any person born on US soil, guaranteed equal legal treatment under the Equal protection clause, and allowed black men the right to vote. These were all supposed to be positive steps towards creating a society in which "liberty" meant that all men had the same legal and political rights.

However, this ideal world did not exist after the Civil War. The implementation of Jim Crow laws and "separate but equal" facilities created a society in the South which was based on unequal treatment of African-American citizens.
