The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery
The 14th Amendment stated that no state shall abridge the rights of any citizens
The 15th Amendment, ostensibly, gives the right to vote to African-American men. It states that "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
So, the 15th Amendment worked to codify, or bring into fruition, a whole new group of voting citizens who had equal protection under the law in a system where slavery is now illegal.
The correct answer is A - Byzantine Empire.
In the year 500 CE and onward, England, France, and the Roman empire were nto present in these areas, the Byzantine empire, on the other hand, was controlling this portion of the world.
Back then, even though slavery was over, racism wasn't. Many people hated African American, and would try to harm and kill them.
Hope this helps!
