The 13th amendment abolished slavery.

The 15th amendment says that the right to vote cannot be denied on the basis of race or status as a former slave.

The 14th amendment is a bit more involved. It says:

  • Anyone born in the United States (including former slaves) is a citizen.
  • The states must provide due process and equal protection of the laws to all citizens.
  • Representation in the House of Representatives is based on the total population, not the free population plus 3/5 of the slave population. If a state denies the right to vote to some citizens, its representation in the House will be reduced in proportion to the citizens denied that right.
  • Anyone who swore an oath to the United States and then joined the Confederacy is ineligible to hold any office in the U.S. government or any state government.
  • The U.S. public debt is valid, but the Confederate debt is null and void.
