The thirteenth amendment abolished slavery in the United States.

The Fourteenth Amendment declared that anyone born on American soil is or who has gone through the citizenship process is an American Citizen (essentially it made all black people American citizens.)

The fourteenth amendment also Nationalised the Bill of Rights. What this means is that previously, there was a loophole that only the Federal government couldn't infringe on our rights, not the states. The amendment fixed this loop hole, it is known as the Due Process Clause. The amendment also states that the states cannot deprive a citizen (know matter for what reason) the equal protection under the law.

The fifteenth amendment gave black men the right to vote.
