Question

protective rights quick check
which statement explains why the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments were added to the constitution? (1 point)
○ a rebellion led by former enslaved people
○ the union winning the civil war, ultimately abolishing slavery within the whole country
○ the confederate south winning the civil war
○ the revolutionary war, ultimately freeing colonists from the british monarchy

Explanation:

The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery, the Fourteenth Amendment granted citizenship and equal protection, and the Fifteenth Amendment gave African - American men the right to vote. These were added after the Union won the Civil War. A rebellion by formerly enslaved people did not lead to their addition. If the Confederate South had won, these amendments (which were against the Confederacy's interests) would not have been added. The Revolutionary War was about independence from Britain, not these amendments.

Answer:

the Union winning the Civil War, ultimately abolishing slavery within the whole country
