Question

How did the Thirteenth Amendment expand the rights of African Americans?

A. By establishing separate-but-equal schools
B. By eliminating poll taxes and literacy tests
C. By prohibiting segregation
D. By abolishing slavery

Answer 1

I think it may be a. i don't think we updated it within the time the thirteen amendment was created and the 1960s when this problem began to decrease. So a would make sense lol.

Answer 2

"The 13th Amendment to the Constitution declared that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Formally abolishing slavery in the United States, the 13th Amendment was passed by the Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the states on December 6, 1865." So That is your answer! Hope that helps love! ^^

Answer 3

So The answer would be D! because if you read what I wrote you would be able to see that it literally says "Formally abolishing slavery in the United States, the 13th Amendment was passed by the Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the states on December 6, 1865."
