With the Reconstruction Amendments
The thirteenth through fifteenth amendments are referred to as Reconstruction Amendments. These amendments came about after the Civil War. They were designed to help reconstruct the south after the war.
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 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution were, and in some cases still are, hotly contested issues even today. What these three amendments did for the nation after the Civil War are the greatest achievements of reconstruction because between the three minorities gained the right to vote and equal protection under the law along with the rights of normal citizens. They also abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime.
