Question

Read the summary of the main ideas of the article below. Texas began practicing slavery in 1836. When the Civil War ended and slavery was abolished, the news was slow to spread, and slavery did not stop in Texas. Which answer choice would complete the summary?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not provide the article, we can say that the idea that completes the summary is that although slavery was prohibited after the Civil War, during the Reconstruction time the southern states had a different opinion and did not accept that African Americans integrated into the southern society and intermingle with the white people of the South. Indeed, things got worse because many southern states created legislation like the Jim Crow laws and the Black Codes, that segregated African Americans.
