After the Civil War, African American men gained the legal right to vote with the passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870. However, many Southern states implemented discriminatory practices, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, to disenfranchise Black voters. It wasn't until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that many of these barriers were effectively challenged, ensuring broader access to voting for African Americans.

after the civil war The 13th(abolished slavery), 14th( all former slaves are granted citizenship), and 15th(That any citizen, no matter what race, could vote) amendments were added to the constitution.
In the civil war slaves were still slaves but still, they were with the enemy and were as such treated as the enemy.
If we hadn't had the civil war than we might still have slaves today. Also as a reprecution of that, former slaves began demanding for more rights and then that led to women and every other minority out there to stand up for their basic rights. So if there had been no civil war, women might still not even be able to vote.
