Answer:

D. Led to mistreatment if Native American workers

Explanation:

By a decree of the Spanish king in 1503, Indians, nominally considered free, were transferred to the guardianship of the conquerors, who were obliged to pay dues, to serve bondhold in mines and estates.

The owner of the encomienda (encomendero) was obliged to actively promote the conversion of the Indians to Christianity, their assimilation of a new "reasonal" lifestyle, i.e., similar to the way of life of the Spaniards themselves, and protect them in the event of a military threat. De jure, the encomienda was inalienable and did not give rights to either the land or the identity of the Indian. De facto encomendero had virtually unlimited power over his wards, which contributed to numerous abuses and brutal exploitation of the indigenous population.

Answer:

The 14th Amendment granted the men citizenship, making it possible for them to run for office, while the 15th Amendment allowed African American men to vote for their representatives.

Explanation:

The 13th Amendment ended slavery, but further protection of African Americans was needed after centuries of discrimination. Congress passed the 14th Amendment, which granted African American citizenship. However, many states considered this too radical and opposed. The federal government took action over those states and realized that even with citizenship, African Americans endured discrimination and had little political rights and representation.

Then in 1869, Congress, led by the Republicans, passed the 15th amendment, which made it abundantly clear that all citizens regardless of skin color or ethnicity could vote.
