Generally, the Bill of Rights and Bill-of-Rights-type Amendments have been conceptualized as recognizing rather than cognizing or granting rights.
U.S. Const., Amend. XV:
"Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
It is true that Amendment XIV was regarded as having failed to interpose sufficiently so as to ensure suffrage to African-Americans, which was then the impetus for Amendment XV. Amendments XIII, XIV and XV, the Civil War Amendments, outlawed slavery, inter alia granted citizenship to African-Americans, and enfranchised them.

Which group of Americans received greater political power including voting rights in the 1800s?
In the 1800s, white men, particularly those who owned property, received greater political power and voting rights compared to other groups. Reforms in the latter part of the century led to the expansion of suffrage primarily for white men, while women, African Americans, and Native Americans faced significant barriers to voting. The passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870 aimed to grant African American men the right to vote, but discriminatory practices like literacy tests and poll taxes continued to disenfranchise many. Overall, the political landscape of the 1800s largely favored white men.

What 6 amendments deal with expanding voting rights?
There are only 3 amendments dealing with suffrage: the 15th, 19th, and the 26th. The 15th amendment gave voting rights to all male citizens, the 19th amendment gave all women the right to vote, and the 26th amendment changed the voting age from 21 to 18. Technically, as the 14th Amendment defines citizenship, it also affects suffrage, as only citizens are allowed to vote. Also, the 24th Amendment forbids poll taxes (and similar items), which were used to disenfranchise many poorer blacks (even though they technically had the right to vote, they couldn't meet the "other" requirements set out by Jim Crow laws). While the 13th Amendment outlaws slavery, it does not have anything specific with suffrage (it does not grant suffrage to anyone - even though it outlawed slavery, without the 15th to grant citizenship, the 13th does not give anyone voting rights).
