So In 1865, following the Civil War, southern state legislatures began enacting Black Codes to restrict freedmen's rights and maintain the plantation system. The Republican-controlled Congress responded to these measures by passing the three great postwar constitutional amendments (Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth to be exact) that abolished slavery, guaranteed the newly freed blacks equal protection of the laws, and gave all male American citizens the right to vote regardless of their "race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
also, as Reconstruction came to an end in 1877, the concept of equal rights collapsed in the wake of legislative and judicial actions. The Civil Rights Cases of 1883 greatly limited the rights of blacks and strengthened Jim Crow laws in the South.
Asian, Irish and other immigrant Americans were also restricted from public life, isolated in segregated schools, and discriminated against in regard to employment and housing. They also suffered under bans on racial intermarriage and limitations on real property ownership.

They fought over rights to the Jordan River basin which in turn caused the wars
This belief is based on an object that was discovered only a century ago. It has already earned a place alongside the Rosetta Stone as one of the most important artifacts of the ancient world. This stela (stone pillar) bears the inscription of the Code of Hammurabi, and it has shed light on the laws, culture and life in Babylonia.
Answer:
Abolishing slavery occurred at the same time as Latin American independence movements.
Explanation:
At the period of the Independence movements, neither Europe nor Britain respected the idea of a "republic." It brought memories of the Reign of Terror in France and was as welcome as a Maoist People’s Republic nowadays. During Independence several Latin American leaders and even the country of Peru wanted a constitutional monarchy, not a republic. It was even tried with general Iturbide in Mexico: the first Mexican Empire. And in Peru they wanted the incredibly popular Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, later King Leopold THE FIRST of Belgium as constitutional King but were denied.. On one side Bolivar, having lived in France under the Consulate, was dogmatically republican.
On the other side Britain, which was more powerful than America at the time, had suspicions about republics and mainly helped Independence movements because it wanted Latin America out of the Sphere of Influence of the Holy Alliance. So the Brits were more enthusiast about supporting Emperor Pedro I of Brazil than of supporting Bolivar of Spanish America.
You have to understand Britain had fiercely fought off the French Republic. Also America and Britain were NOT working in tandem as they still disliked each other. 1812 had smarted a lot in America, Britain -and in Europe where it was considered a foul act against the anti-Napleon Coalition.
