Answer:
After the United States abolished slavery, Black Americans continued to be marginalized through enforced segregated and diminished access to facilities, housing, education—and opportunities.
Explanation:
Racial segregation existed throughout the United States, North, and South. As one historian of segregation has written, "no reflective historian any longer believes" that Northern states were innocent of the historical crimes of slavery and later segregation. By the twentieth century, Jim Crow laws were not generally on the books of Northern states and cities (though they had been in the nineteenth century.) Nor were racial attitudes as hardened in Northern states as in the Jim Crow South. But segregation, and the racist assumptions that undergirded it, existed north of the Mason-Dixon line too. The difference between segregation in the two regions is usually summarized as "de facto" versus "de jure." Southern racial hierarchies were in fact rigidly enforced by laws that established inflexible boundaries, intended not just to segregate but to establish and maintain white supremacy. In Northern cities in particular, though, segregation was enforced by other means. Neighborhoods,

Answer:
Explanation:
I looked it up to see what kind of a book it was and I read only the publisher's blub.
A: not a choice. I think you have to put it in the context of the 1870s or 80s. The author is little beyond that time. If it were me, I'd pick the falling in love answer. I like modern women's literature, not because it plays on the heartstrings (which it does) but because it presents women's grief and dilemma pretty honestly. But I think the 1870s especially dealing with a minority's grief would not chose this as a topic -- certainly not a serious one. So much as I would choose A, I doubt the novel would.
B: I don't think I'd choose B either. Victoriano sounds like an honorable man to me. He sympathizes with Clarence's problem and offers him a reasonable assurance that the women would not be present. From what we can gather, that turns out to be true. Clarence does not seem to have met anyone.
C: Trite though the detail is, it should happen.
D: I do not see Victoriano as the bad guy. I don't sense betrayal in him. I think I'll choose D as well.
E. I thought this already happened.
D. Is the answer, I read the book.
