Yes. Black male former slaves received the right to vote in 1870. Women fought for the same right until it was granted in 1920. but when did the blacks actually vote
While some free black men could vote in some of the northern states before the US Civil War, the right to vote was guaranteed to all black males with the ratification of the 15th Amendment to the Constitution in 1870. Black women gained the vote with white women. A few western states granted women the vote in the late 19th century, but most women in the US gained the vote with ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920
The 15th amendment in 1870 gave black men the right to vote first. Women got the right to vote in 1919, a half century later. Even though former female, white abolitionists had organized and fought diligently alongside black male and black female abolitionists, several famous black male abolitionists abandoned the suffragettes in order to achieve their vote first. This caused a falling out between the two groups. Ultimately, black women, white women, and all women including those who had fought for abolition all had to wait a half century before getting the right to vote. Many black and white female abolitionists died before any woman was given the right to vote which was a disappointment to them for the rest of their lives. Similarly, black men held office for the first time right after the Civil War while women of all ethnicities' political opportunities, right to have property, and rights to divorce took decades longer to achieve than that of black men. The 14th and 15th amendments deliberately included language that would keep women of any ethnicity from enhanced rights.
