Explanation:

After the Civil War, Black spokespeople emphasized that the war's goal of ending slavery and securing equality required more than limited rights. Full citizenship encompassed the full range of legal, political, and social rights that would fulfill the promise of the war's outcome, making it the core demand they argued was necessary to not betray the war's meaning.
