Best Answer

The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments were important to the Civil Rights Movement. The Thirteenth Amendment ended slavery in the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment allowed Blacks to have the same rights as Whites. The Fifteenth Amendment allowed Blacks to vote. They had little effect in the south until 1965 when the Civil War ended.

What events led up to the passing of the tirteenth amendment?

There is not really one single event leading to these amendments. These amendments followed directly after the Civil War. They all are products of reconstruction. The fundamental idea behind these amendments followed from the Emancipation Proclamation (which was of itself of dubious legality); these three amendments attempted to ensure that slavery was permanently banned, that persons of color would be considered citizens of the United States, and that the Federal Government had the basic right to ensure that states implemented these rights and freedoms.
