The following quotes give the views of people both before and after the Reconstruction amendments were passed. Match each quote with the amendment that it references."Mr. Madison thought it wrong to admit in the Constitution the idea of property in man." _ Charles Sumner "Suffrage must wait for education." - Dr. Lyman Abbott "I wished that I were the owner of every southern slave, that I might cast off the shackles from their limbs." Thaddeus Stevens

Answer 1

Let's match each quote with the appropriate Reconstruction amendment:

1. "Mr. Madison thought it wrong to admit in the Constitution the idea of property in man." - Charles Sumner

   • This quote references the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, affirming that people cannot be considered property.

2. "Suffrage must wait for education." - Dr. Lyman Abbott

   • This quote relates to the 15th Amendment, which granted African American men the right to vote, although some argued that suffrage should be contingent upon education and other qualifications.

3. "I wished that I were the owner of every southern slave, that I might cast off the shackles from their limbs." - Thaddeus Stevens

   • This quote is also associated with the 13th Amendment, as it reflects support for the abolition of slavery and the desire for emancipation.

To summarize:

• Charles Sumner → 13th Amendment
• Dr. Lyman Abbott → 15th Amendment
• Thaddeus Stevens → 13th Amendment
