Answer: D. It created laws to ban slavery in the North.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the Civil War ended,some states in the North decided to abolish Slavery either through a new Constitution or by Judicial decree.

Virginia declared slavery to be illegal in a new Constitution in 1777 and in 1783, Massachusetts and New Hampshire outlawed it as well by Judicial decree.
