8 using sources 8 and 10, what statement can be inferred about daily life for african american citizens? a african americans rights and freedoms were never honored by louisiana during or after reconstruction. b african americans were stripped of their citizenship post - reconstruction due to constitutional changes of the late 19th century. c african americans were given freedom and citizenship post - war, and continued to have their rights protected throughout constitutional changes of the 19th century. d african americans rights and freedoms gained in reconstruction were stripped away by changes to louisiana state law.

Explanation:

After Reconstruction, many Southern states, including Louisiana, passed laws (Jim - Crow laws) that eroded the rights and freedoms African Americans had gained. These laws were state - level changes that restricted African Americans' daily life. Option A is too extreme as rights were not "never" honored. Option B is incorrect as African Americans were not stripped of citizenship. Option C is wrong as rights were not continuously protected.

Answer:

D. African Americans' rights and freedoms gained in reconstruction were stripped away by changes to Louisiana state law.
