The correct answers are:

- There was a lack of progress in implementing civil rights reforms;

- There was a lack of opportunity for African Americans;

- False evidence was used in cases against African Americans;

North Carolina was not a state where the things were going very smoothly for the African Americans even after they officially and lawfully gained the same rights as all other ethnic and racial groups in the United States.

The reason for this was mostly the racism which was still in the minds of the majority of the population of North Carolina. Because of this, the reforms in the civil rights department were going very slowly, and though on paper it was all good, in practice there was largely no changes. That resulted in continuous discrimination and segregation of the African Americans, which led to much less opportunities for them in life, usually being restricted to the agricultural sector. Also, very often false evidence were used against African Americans for crimes that they didn't do, but in order to cover up or ''resolve'' some crime they practiced this a lot.
