D.African Americans still could not legally marry.

Explanation:

After the terrible Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, the United States went through the southern reconstruction phase; at the same time segregationism was being born. The war-torn south as the scene of the fighting has become the subject of debate among politicians. It had to be rebuilt; but within the new order, the war-winning northerly capitalist order.

The main criticism of Reconstruction was based on the terrible quality of life that black people lived, even after being freed from slavery. At this point, reconstruction was interpreted as pointless because most African Americans in the south remained hopelessly poor, the large planters remained politically powerful, and black political gains ended shortly after Reconstruction. The marriage between African Americans seemed somewhat superficial and unimportant in the face of previous criticism, so we can conclude that this marriage was not a reconstruction cytical.

when world war i broke out across europe in 1914, president woodrow wilson proclaimed the united states would remain neutral, and many americans supported this policy of nonintervention. however, public opinion about neutrality started to change after the sinking of the british ocean liner lusitania by a german u-boat in 1915; almost 2,000 people perished, including 128 americans. along with news of the zimmerman telegram threatening an alliance between germany and mexico, wilson asked congress for a declaration of war against germany. the u.s. officially entered the conflict on april 6, 1917.
