   • 13th Amendment (abolished slavery)

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

Answer 3

Thank you for your patience. Let’s correctly assign the quotes to the Reconstruction amendments, including the 14th Amendment where appropriate:

1. "It is easy to protect the interests of the rich and powerful. But it is a great labor to protect the interests of the poor and downtrodden." — Thaddeus Stevens

   • This quote generally refers to the broader themes of social justice, which aligns with the goals of the 14th Amendment (which addresses citizenship rights and equal protection under the law).

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

   • This quote reflects views related to voting rights and social status, which relates to the 15th Amendment (prohibiting the denial of the right to vote based on race, but education was often used as a reason to restrict voting).

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

   • This quote references the abolition of slavery, which is tied to the 13th Amendment (which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude).

4. "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 directly pertains to the 13th Amendment as well, focusing again on the abolition of slavery.

So the matches are:

• Thaddeus Stevens (interests of the poor): 14th Amendment
• Dr. Lyman Abbott (suffrage and education): 15th Amendment
• Charles Sumner (property in man): 13th Amendment
• Thaddeus Stevens (wish to free slaves): 13th Amendment

Thank you for pointing out the need for clarification!
