In contrast to the mainstream of U.S. historiography during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, African American historians of the period, such as George Washington Williams and W. E. B. DuBois, adopted a transnational perspective. ████ ███ ████ ███ ███████ ████████ ███ ███ █████ ██ █████ ███ ███ █████████ ██ █████ ██ ██ ███████ ███████ ██ ███ ███████ ██ ███████ █████████ ██ ███ ██████ ██████ ████ ██ ██ ███████ █████████

Main point ·
Early African American historians who took a transnational perspective were nationalist, too
This nationalism is based on a diasporic community (spread across different countries). These historians wrote the history of a people with a collective identity, who saw themselves as part "nation" without a homeland or with Africa as home.

The main purpose of the ██████ █████████ ██ ███ ███████ ██ ██
a
explain why early ███████ ████████ ██████████ ████ █████████ ██ ████████ ██████████████ ██ ███ ███ ████ ████ ███
This best captures the purpose as explained above.
b
show that governmental ███████ ████ ██ ██████████████ ██████████ ██ ███ ██████ ████ ███ ███████ ██████
The primary purpose doesn’t relate to the impact of governmental actions; that purpose would have no connection to the way P1 ended. In any case, we don't know that the Fourteenth Amendment was intended to grant African Americans citizenship.
c
support the contention ████ ███████ ████████ █████████████ ██ ███ ████ ██████████ ███████ ████ ████████ ██ ████ ███████████
P2 doesn’t discuss U.S. imperialism. That’s part of P3.
d
establish that some ███████ ████████ █████████ ███████ ██ ███ ████ ██████████ ███████ █████████ ██████████ ██ ██ ███████████ ██ ████████ ███ ███ ████████ ██ ████ ███████████
Although the passage does mention that some leaders advocated emigration as an alternative to fighting for U.S. citizenship, this point is too narrow to be the primary purpose. The reference to leaders and their reaction to the question of citizenship is brought up to make the point that a discussion of African American history involves transnational issues. This is part of why early African American historians adopted a transnational approach.
e
argue that the ██████████ ██ ███████████ █████████ ██ ███ ██████████ █████████ ██ ███ ████ ████████████ ██ ███ ███████
The author does not argue that the definition of citizenship in the Fourteenth Amendment is too limited.
