Which of the following describes how the three Reconstruction Amendments extended and limited civil rights to Black Americans?
1 answer
The three Reconstruction Amendments (13th, 14th, and 15th) extended civil rights to Black Americans by officially abolishing slavery (13th Amendment), granting citizenship and equal protection under the law (14th Amendment), and prohibiting the denial of voting rights based on race (15th Amendment). However, these amendments were limited in their effectiveness by discriminatory laws, practices, and attitudes that persisted in many parts of the country, leading to continued inequality and segregation for Black Americans.
