In 1870, the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution granted African American men the right to vote. This amendment prohibited the federal and state governments from denying the right to vote based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." While the amendment aimed to ensure voting rights for Black men, various discriminatory practices, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, were later used to circumvent this right.
