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.

If we hadn't had the civil war than we might still have slaves today.

So if there had been no civil war, women might still not even be able to vote.
