The Fifteenth Amendment prohibited voter discrimination on the basis of race, which primarily applied to African-American males (African-American women couldn't vote until the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified in 1920) Yet, it really wasn't until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that many black citizens were really able to vote. Many laws were passed to keep black citizens from voting for the 100 years. Literacy tests, poll taxes, and threats were used against people to keep them from voting. Women gained the right to vote in 1920 with the passage of the 19th amendment and in reality they were able to vote before black citizens, except for black women who still had to fight the racial discrimination.

How are the ethnic groups different from each other?
A minority group is a subordinate group whose members have significantly less control or power over their own lives than the members of a dominant or majority group have over theirs. The number of people in a group does not necessarily determine its status as a social minority. Sociologist define a minority group with the concern of the economic and political power, or powerlessness, of that group. An example of a minority group in America are homosexuals, or Muslims. Neither group is properly represented politically, or economically, and both groups have issues with certain rights such as the right to marry in some states for homosexuals. "Ethnic" which derives from the Greek word "ethnos" pertains to culture. An ethnic group is a cultural group. They are distinguished by language, customs, cuisine, modes of dress and so on. In most countries there is one dominant majority culture, and members of that group are an ethnic group to be sure. However, it is also common to find countries where there are minority ethnic groups, to whom the majority ethnic group often shows great hostility. Also in places like America, ethnic groups can be composed of several different minority groups. In our "melting pot" we have Black Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, and so on that all compose of one big ethnic group.
