I think it's none of the above. because B was in 1870 and the other two have nothing to do with it.

Answer 5

i think None of the above. The fourteenth amendment was ratified to try to prevent the imposition of slave-like conditions in the South. The Black Codes and the Ku Klux Klan came in the 1870s. The amendment had nothing to do with Lincoln's assassination.
