After the passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870, all male citizens of the United States, regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, were granted the right to vote. This primarily aimed to enfranchise African American men who had been denied voting rights due to discriminatory practices. However, many states implemented various barriers, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, that effectively suppressed voting among African Americans and other marginalized groups. Therefore, while the amendment legally granted voting rights, its implementation was often undermined.
