Answer 1

Slaves were not permitted to marry in the United States until the Emancipation Proclamation

Step-by-step explanation:

Prior to the Civil War and the subsequent Thirteenth Amendment that is the Emancipation Proclamation, Slaves were not allowed to marry as it was not legal under the law. Marriage amongst other human rights and civil rights were denied individuals who were enslaved in the United States prior to Thirteenth Amendment. The Emancipation Proclamation after the civil war declared slaves in US as free people who had equal rights(human and civil) as American citizens.
