    The answer has been stated below.

    Explanation:

    The statement in the question seems to be true because African Americans were promised many things but what they really got was the freedom through constitutional amendments. They did not anything physical (for example 40 acres promised at the end of civil war) but their freedom, too was restricted in the post-reconstruction ea by discriminatory laws.
