Hi there!
The passage of the Black Codes in many southern states enraged both northerners and African Americans across the country. In response, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act over president Andrew Johnson's veto as well as the Reconstruction Act of 1867. These acts effectively outlawed discrimination on basis of race and granted equal rights to all under the Constitution. They also guaranteed that a citizen's right to vote could not be denied "on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." All of these actions effectively invalidated the Black Codes. However, the road to reconstruction was still a long and rocky one.
Answer: Judaism
Details:
The covenant that YAHWEH made with Abraham was a unilateral (one-sided) promise. Apart from anything Abraham did, God was promising that he was going to bring about a great nation from Abraham's offspring, and that the nation descended from him would possess the land of Canaan. The descendants of Abraham are the Jewish people, and Canaan became known as their land, Israel. (Israel was a name God gave to Abraham's grandson, Jacob, that then became the name of his descendant people.)
God also included the promise of a Messiah in the covenant with Abraham, saying, "Through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed" (Genesis 22:18).
See Genesis chapter 17 and also Genesis 22:15-18 for the Bible's account of these covenant promises.
