Question

• farmers vs equality: because freedmen often had no money and no other option to make a living, many worked on their former plantations as sharecroppers in situations similar to slavery. sharecroppers farmed a landowner’s land in exchange for a share of the crop. they were at the mercy of landowners, leaving them indebted, uneducated, and struggling to get by.
• state - sanctioned racism: black codes and later jim crow laws, were enacted in the south, limiting the freedoms of african americans and delaying true equality.

when was slavery abolished in the united states?

• in 1865, after the end of the civil war
• in 1834, after great britain did it
• in 1860, igniting the civil war

Explanation:

To determine when slavery was abolished in the US, we recall historical facts: The 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, was ratified in 1865 after the Civil War ended. Great Britain abolished slavery in 1834 (not relevant to US abolition), and 1860 was when tensions led to the Civil War's start, not abolition.

Answer:

A. in 1865, after the end of the Civil War
