What did the Civil Rights Act of 1964 accomplish?

Ended slavery
Gave women the right to vote
Made segregation illegal in all public facilities
Allowed 18-year-olds to vote

The correct answer is: Made segregation illegal in all public facilities

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a landmark federal law that aimed to end discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This means that it made segregation and unequal treatment based on these factors illegal in all public facilities, such as schools, restaurants, and public transportation. Option A is incorrect because slavery had already been abolished with the 13th Amendment in 1865. Option B is incorrect because women gained the right to vote with the 19th Amendment in 1920. Option D is incorrect because the 26th Amendment, which gave 18-year-olds the right to vote, was not passed until 1971. Therefore, only option C correctly reflects what the Civil Rights Act of 1964 accomplished.
