The 15th Amendment was a follow-on to the 13th Amendment (abolished slavery) and the 14th amendment (guaranteed citizenship to non-whites, but only weakly discouraged their disenfranchisement). The 15th amendment specifically extended voting rights to non-white residents of the US, including freed slaves, which at least nominally prohibited the denial of their legal right to vote.
