The correct answer is A. The Tennessee Constitution of 1870 did indeed ban slavery. However, it did not guarantee the right to vote to former Confederate soldiers; rather, it established more general voting rights while still including some restrictions for specific groups.
To clarify the options:
- B is incorrect: Poll taxes were not banned by the Tennessee Constitution of 1870 and the right to vote for African Americans was not fully guaranteed at that time.
- C is incorrect: All Jim Crow laws were not banned, and voting rights were not given to all landowners without restrictions.
- D is incorrect: Ku Klux Klan membership was not explicitly banned in this constitution, and voting rights were not guaranteed to all men without imposition of restrictions.
Therefore, while A is the closest to a true statement regarding the outcomes of the Tennessee Constitution of 1870, it is important to note its limitations and the broader historical context of voting rights during that period.
