Answer:

Strictly implementation of laws and punishment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Strictly implementation of laws and punishment to those who forbid the law were the steps the government took to free slaves and restore the rights of African Americans after the civil war. The Thirteenth Amendment (1865) ended slavery all over the United States, the Fourteenth Amendment (1868) provides American citizenship to the African Americans, and the Fifteenth Amendment (1870) guaranteed the right to vote to African Americans.
