C) addressed issues that contributed to the Civil War.

Explanation:

In 1865, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery. The thing that came next was to protect the rights of the newly freed people, so the Congress created two Constitutional amendments in addition.

The 14th Amendment in 1868 guaranteed African Americans citizens rights and promised equal protection of the laws by the Federal Government.

The 15th Amendment in 1870 stated that vote coud not be denied to anyone based on race, color or previous condition of slavery. If states failed to protect these rights the responsibility would fall on the federal government.
