Question 9 (1 point) After the passing of the 13th amendment to abolish slavery, the 14th amendment to protect minority communities, and the 15th amendment to allow all men to vote, the country became a more equal and tolerant place a true b false

## Step 1<br />The problem is a statement about the impact of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments in the United States. These amendments were significant in the history of the United States as they abolished slavery, protected minority communities, and allowed all men to vote.<br />## Step 2<br />The 13th amendment abolished slavery, the 14th amendment protected the rights of all citizens, and the 15th amendment granted the right to vote to all men, regardless of race or color.<br />## Step 3<br />However, the statement that the country became a more equal and tolerant place after these amendments is not entirely accurate. While these amendments were significant steps towards equality and tolerance, they did not immediately transform the country into a more equal and tolerant place.<br />## Step 4<br />The struggle for equality and tolerance continued for many years after these amendments were passed. Therefore, the statement is false.
