The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments focused on giving past slaves rights, particularly voting rights.
Jim Crow laws and Black Codes were ways the Southern states responded to these Amendments, as they wanted to keep their way of life intact. Jim Crow laws were meant to segregate blacks and whites from each other. They essentially made it easier for the South to continue to treat African Americans harshly. The Black Codes were harsher and made it so black people could be arrested for basically no reason and they could not leave their jobs, even if they wanted to.
Poll taxes and literacy tests were more ways the South state responded. Poll taxes were put on voting polls, in order to stop African Americans from voting. Black people during this time had a hard time getting a job and were paid less, so many could not afford to pay for polling. Literacy tests were also very harsh on African Americans. Since many, did not and could not receive a proper education, they would fail the literacy tests and not be able to vote.

The correct answer is A. The British soldiers panicked when they were shot at.
Explanation:
The excerpt presented describes a battle fought by the British forces against the French and Indians. About this, the author, who belongs to the British side (you can know this because the author uses "they" to refer to the French and Indians), describes the French and Indians number was not known "the Number of each not known", and they were located in a hill "possessed the Sides and Brow of a Hill".
Moreover, the author states the French and Indians began to shot "some of them fired", and this led to a general panic in the British side "this immediately struck a general Pannic; the Men could not be persuaded to form regularly." Thus, in this battle, the British soldiers panicked when they were shot at.
