What are the thirteenth fourteenth and the fifteenth amendments called?
These three amendments are often referred to as the "Post-Civil-War Amendments", as they were all passed in the years right after the Civil War. They have sometimes been called the "Civil Rights Amendments" as well. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th Amendment provided that all persons born in the U.S. were citizens and prohibited state governments from denying them their civil rights (and also contained provisions pertaining to the defeated Confederacy and its officials), and the 15th Amendment guaranteed the right to vote to former slaves (as long as they were adult males). Interestingly, these amendments were the first since 1804, and were the last until 1913. All of the (other) political compromises that made the federal government what it was in the 19th century were accomplished without amending the Constitution.
