Answer:

they did whatever a normal person would do

The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States—including former slaves—and guaranteed all citizens “equal protection of the laws.”. One of three amendments passed during the Reconstruction era to abolish slavery

Answer:

With the 14th amendment freedmen were able to be free also vote and more but with some white people they did not like that.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fifth Amendment, however, applies only against the federal government. Among them was the Fourteenth Amendment, which prohibits the states from depriving “any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”
