Amendment 15 ensured that race could not be used as a criteria for voting. This might have caused concern among the political leaders of slave states because they realized that if that were the case, they would basically lose all chance of being reelected. Think about it, would the slaves vote to reelect the people who allowed them to be slaves? Of Course Not!! That is why they were concerned that now slaves were eligible to vote.

I hope this helped you out.
