Question

after the civil war, free blacks received the same rights as whites:

○ true

○ false

Explanation:

After the Civil War, although free blacks gained some rights (like the 13th, 14th, 15th Amendments), systemic racism, Jim Crow laws, and social discrimination meant they didn't have the same rights as whites in practice (e.g., segregation, voting restrictions, economic disparities). So the statement is false.

Answer:

False (the option: False)
