What did the 15th amendment accomplish?

Answer 1

The 15th Amendment:

• Section 1. 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.
• Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Ratified on 3 February 1870, it guaranteed the right of all American citizens to vote regardless of race, color, or previous state of slavery. In essence it gave former slaves the right to be involved in the most basic political liberty of the US.

The context for this amendment was that the 13th amendment providing genrally for the abolition of slavery and the 14th amendment did not necessarily provide for he right to vote. Because some of the Southern states designed 'Jim Crow' law to eiliminate the former slaves' right to vote.
