The 13th Amendment abolished slavery. The 14th Amendment states that everyone born in the U.S. is an American citizen including African Americans. The 15th Amendment gives the right to vote to all people.
African Americans.
The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments are called the Reconstruction Amendments because they gave citizenship rights and protections to African-Americans and were part of the project of Reconstruction (which was from 1865-1877).
The 15th amendment allowed African American males to vote, and the 19th amendment gave women the right to vote. Native Americans were not considered citizens until 1924, so they did not have the right to vote until then. Even after 1924, some states restricted Native American voting rights based on whether or not they paid property taxes. This discrimination continued until the 1950s. Though African American males were guaranteed the right to vote by the 15th amendment, and African American women by the 19th, many legal and social barriers were quickly created to impede actual voting. These barriers were made illegal in the Civil Rights Act of 1957. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made all racial discrimination and segregation illegal.
african americans were guaranteed political rights and equal protection under the law
The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were passed by Congress to establish and protect the civil rights of newly freed African Americans following the Civil War. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th Amendment granted citizenship and equal protection under the law, and the 15th Amendment aimed to secure voting rights regardless of race. Together, these amendments sought to integrate African Americans into American society and counteract the discriminatory practices of the Reconstruction era. They were integral to advancing civil rights and promoting equality in the post-war United States.
