The fifteenth amendment was ratified in 1870, not 1850 as it says above. 1850 cannot be the date as it is before the Civil War, a time when African Americans would never be given the vote.
Because there is a reading of the 15th Amendment which can make it appear that the Amendment gave black women the right to vote while denying it white ones.
they were not allowed to vote but black former-Slaver could and that anger WHITE women.
The 15 amendment gave African American men the right to vote; the 19th amendment expanded it to women (both black and white women).
The women did not apperceate that they were not included in the fifteenth amendment. They did not find it far that they could not vote but the newly freed African American men could.
So that Black Freedmen can have the right to vote.But not women in this time.

the debate over the ratification of the fifteenth amendment
The fifteenth amendment gave black men the right to vote, which caused women to refuse to endorse it. This led to the group National American Woman Suffrage Association, which led to the organization of the National Woman's Party. The perseverance of these two groups led to the Nineteenth Amendment, granting the ballot to women.

the thirteenth amendment freed all the slaves, the fourteenth amendment recognized all black and white men as citizens, and the fifteenth amendment gave ALL MEN the right to vote (women didn't get the right to vote until the nineteenth amendment) *In 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery. The Thirteenth Amendment was followed by the 14th Amendment in 1866, which defined for the first time the definition of American citizenship. The Fifteenth Amendment passed by Congress in 1870 stated that no part of the federal government was to discriminate any citizen on account of "race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
