Explanation:

After the Civil War, laws like Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation. These laws institutionalized discrimination and maintained a racial caste system. Global stratification (A) is about global - level inequality, not relevant here. Amendments (C) like the 13th, 14th, and 15th were supposed to grant rights. Belief in reincarnation (D) is a religious concept in some Eastern religions, not related to African - American racial caste system in the US post - Civil War.

Answer:

B. Laws that promoted segregation
