The correct answer is: **grant citizenship to African Americans.**
The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, was primarily aimed at granting citizenship to everyone born or naturalized in the United States, which included former enslaved people. It also provided for equal protection under the laws and was part of the Reconstruction Amendments aimed at addressing issues of race and civil rights in the post-Civil War era.
