How did the 15th amendment affect people in the 1860 please do not trust my answer ok thank you?

It did not. The 15th Amendment, which gave African-American men the right to vote, did not take effect until 30 March 1870. So it really did not affect people in 1860. And at that time, (1870) there WERE no US slaves, and no one sued the government. And someone slept through history class.
