The 15th Amendment (1870) to the United States Constitution granted the right to suffrage (voting) to all males. Specifically, the use of color or being a prior slave could no longer legally be used to prevent the right to vote for African-American males.

The 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, says that the right to vote cannot be denied by race. The primary beneficiaries of this amendment were African-American men. African-American women did not gain voting rights until the Nineteenth Amendment (women's suffrage) was ratified in 1920.

Amendment XV

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
