Legislation that ensured the voting rights of African American males.
The civil rights laws and voting rights laws gave African Americans the voting rights in 1965. This was a hundred years after the civil war amendments and 45 years after women got the rights to vote.
The reconstruction act guaranteed African American males the right to vote. The southern state resorted to intimidation tactics to prevent most black males from registering or successfully voting.

Some abolitionists were eager to fight for the right of women to vote (called "women's suffrage"-- at that time, women could not vote at all, no matter what color they were); but it was decided to focus on at least getting the vote for black men. The Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in 1870, gave black men voting rights, although it should be noted that thanks to the "Jim Crow Laws," most southern black men still were denied the right to vote.
