Answer 1

The answer is C. Former Confederate officials were prohibited from holding elected office.

Answer 2

D. African Americans in the South could move elsewhere.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 13th Amendment to the US Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. This amendment did not grant African Americans the right to vote, nor did it require state governments to protect individual rights. However, it did allow African Americans in the South who were formerly enslaved to leave their former plantations and seek employment and opportunities elsewhere.
