What year were blacks allowed to vote in us?

Answer 1

Well, honey, technically black men were granted the right to vote with the 15th Amendment in 1870, but we all know that didn't mean much due to all the Jim Crow laws and voter suppression tactics. Black women had to wait until the 19th Amendment in 1920 to join the party. So, in short, the answer is 1870 for black men and 1920 for black women.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, like, in 1870, the Fifteenth Amendment was passed, giving all men the right to vote regardless of race. So, technically, that's when black men were allowed to vote. But, you know, there were still a bunch of shenanigans going on that made it pretty tough for them to actually exercise that right. So, yeah, progress... kind of.

Answer 3

The 15th Amendment, which states that nobody shall be denied the right to vote because of their race, was ratified on February 3, 1870.

However, until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, many blacks -- especially in the southern states -- were prevented from voting by a variety of unlawful tactics. Sometimes, they were told that they could not vote unless they passed a literacy test, or could recite the names of every single U.S. Senator, none of which is true. Other times, they were simply harassed or bullied into not voting.

Answer 4

Technically free blacks had the right to vote from the first US Election in 1789, but it was not until the 15th Amendment in 1870 guaranteed their right to vote that they got the franchise. Even then there were many attempts to limit or discourage them from voting up until the 1960s.

Answer 5

in 1867 the 15th amendment was passed, allowing African-Americans to vote
