The 13th amendment officially abolished slavery. Once these slaves were free, the abolitionists and the northerners feared the southerners and former confederates would deny these freedmen citizenship. So, the 14th amendment granted the African Americans citizenship. And then, the 15th amendment was established, granting the African Americans the right to vote. But some states issued a poll tax and a literacy test to prevent them from voting. Groups like the KKK formed to keep African Americans from voting. The Civil Rights Act of 1965 played a big role in ending these harsh restrictions on voting. There were also black codes and Jim Crow Laws which treated African Americans harshly as well.
