The correct answer is D)Slavery has lasting and extensive effects on every aspect of American society.
Even though the institution of slavery technically ends with the implementation of the 13th amendment, the societal, political, and economic impacts of this institution would continue on well into the 20th century. Slavery was the basis of a large portion of the Southern economy, as the cotton gin and slavery helped develop huge profits for southern plantation owners. Along with this, there were severe social hierarchies established this time, as slaves were viewed as property and not people.
These types of feelings continued after the end of the Civil War and helped in the development of black codes, Jim Crow laws, and the Ku Klux Klan.
