Which of these scenarios would be considered illegal in light of the provisions of the 13th Amendment? African American people born in South Carolina were forced to tend the fields of a master for no wages. African American people born in North Carolina were denied access to polling places to cast their votes. African American citizens were permitted to run for office in the southern states but not the northern states. African American citizens were not permitted to use the same restaurants and educational institutions as white citizens.
@texaschic101 @ganeshie8 help please anyone?
i think African American people born in North Carolina were denied access to polling places to cast their votes.
The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime.
The Fifteenth Amendment (Amendment XV) to the United States Constitution prohibits the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude".
So it's not African American people born in North Carolina were denied access to polling places to cast their votes. That would be the 15th amendment.
African American people born in South Carolina were forced to tend the fields of a master for no wages. would be the correct answer :)
