The 15 amendment gave African American men the right to vote; the 19th amendment expanded it to women (both black and white women).
officialy on 1864 with the 13th Amendment....
the passing of the 13th amendment to the Constitution
Yes. With the Emancipation Proclamation and 13th Amendment, he abolished slavery (though only in the south in the beginning.) Lincoln was deceased and did not sign the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution, which finally freed Slaves in the Union North and the Confederate South.
In the South following the Civil War, the white governments sought to avoid losing economic and political power to the newly freed slaves. The Black Codes were laws enacted in 1865 and 1866 to reduce the rights of blacks. Under the Codes, they were not allowed to vote, to hold office, or to serve on a jury. They were also not guaranteed any sort of public education. In effect, their rights under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were being denied. The Black Codes led to further exertion of power by the North, which demanded that states ratify the 13th and 14th Amendments before being allowed to regain their representation in Congress. Military rule was established and new Republican governments soon repealed the Black Codes. Although they were ruled unconstitutional, the Black Codes were soon supplanted by the Jim Crow laws, so that the separate-but-equal doctrine allowed states to continue to repress their black populations for another century. In addition, attacking the Black Codes were a high priority for Congress. The Civil Rights Act of 1866, was a step towards this goal.
Mississippi did ratify the 13th Amendment, but not until 1995. Note: the previous answer, which I deleted because it was frivolous, claimed that the 13th Amendment was declared unconstitutional. The 13th Amendment is part of the constitution; it cannot be "unconstitutional" by definition.
