Fifteenth Amendment

 the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of United States was ratified on March 30, 1870. This amendment explicitly forbid denial of the right to vote for citizens "on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." applied to mainly the black freedmen, women still could not vote this amendment is apart of the three reconstruction amendments to the constitution. this amendment came into action because whites felt tat blacks should not be allowed to vote, so the fifteenth amendment changed that when the radical republicans proposed it to the congress.
