The correct answer is letter C

Johnson took over the presidency. Once at the top of the country, Johnson tried to implement his autonomy policies, against which the Republicans, who defended the Union's control over the states, vigorously rebelled. Republicans dominated Congress, imposing enormous difficulties on Andrew Johnson's administration.

Johnson continued to rebuild the former Confederate states while Congress was in recess. When Congress met in December 1865, slavery was being abolished. But the "black codes", which regulated the freed slaves, were beginning to appear.

Radical Republicans in Congress, alarmed by the restrictions imposed on blacks, acted to change Johnson's program. Refusing to accept any congressman or senator from the former Confederation, they approved measures aimed at ex-slaves. Johnson vetoed the legislation. Congress overturned its veto and passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, establishing blacks as American citizens and prohibiting any discrimination against them.

Correct  Persecuted both Jews and Jews who had converted to Christianity.

Context/explanation:

The Spanish Inquisition had been established in 1478, particularly with the goal of investigation Jewish conversos -- those who had converted to Christianity -- to make sure they truly were living and believing as Christians, not reverting to Jewish practices.  

By 1492, the anti-Jewish measures were stepped up further and all Jews were given the order that they had to be converts to Christianity or would be forced to leave Spain.  This is known as the Alahambra Decree, by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.  

During those years, hundreds of thousands of Jews experienced either forced conversion or explusion from Spanish territory.
