Question 4 of 5

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

A. segregated communities based on race.

Explanation:

The American Civil War was also referred to as War between the States and it was fought from the 12th of April, 1861 to the 9th of April, 1865. The war was simply between the Southern states that seceded to form Confederate States and the Northern states that were still loyal to the Union.

After the American Civil War, the turbulent era in which efforts were made by the government of the United States of America to reintegrate the Southern states from the Confederacy was known as the Reconstruction era. It began on the 8th of December, 1863 to 31st of March, 1877.

The 13th Amendment of 1865 was an amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America which formally abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime committed by a convict within the jurisdiction.

After Reconstruction, Southern leaders in states such as Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, etc., introduced laws that segregated communities based on race.

For instance, Georgia’s refusal to ratify the 13th Amendment was an action that resulted in Georgia being placed under military rule during Reconstruction. The refusal of Georgia to ratify the 13th Amendment was mainly because its economy was highly dependent on slaves for manpower (labor force).

Consequently, Georgia was the last state to be formally admitted into the Union.
