Answer 1

D.African Americans still could not legally marry.

I don't think marriage was the most important thing in people's mind when blacks were still very poor and racism was still very prevalent.

Answer 2

Answer:

D.African Americans still could not legally marry.

Explanation:

After the terrible Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, the United States went through the southern reconstruction phase; at the same time segregationism was being born. The war-torn south as the scene of the fighting has become the subject of debate among politicians. It had to be rebuilt; but within the new order, the war-winning northerly capitalist order.

The main criticism of Reconstruction was based on the terrible quality of life that black people lived, even after being freed from slavery. At this point, reconstruction was interpreted as pointless because most African Americans in the south remained hopelessly poor, the large planters remained politically powerful, and black political gains ended shortly after Reconstruction. The marriage between African Americans seemed somewhat superficial and unimportant in the face of previous criticism, so we can conclude that this marriage was not a reconstruction cytical.
