The passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, along with various Reconstruction Acts, played a pivotal role in granting voting rights to many former Confederates. The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, established citizenship and equal protection under the law, while the 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, prohibited denying the right to vote based on race. Additionally, various Southern states implemented measures that allowed former Confederates to regain their voting rights, often through the use of "amnesty" provisions in the 1870s. These changes contributed to the re-establishment of political power for many who had previously been disenfranchised.
