Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

C. Even after U.S. independence, most of the country's Black population remained in the southern states as enslaved laborers. The end of the Revolutionary War did not immediately bring about the end of slavery in the United States. It was not until the Civil War and the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865 that slavery was abolished in the United States.
