What does the 15th Amendment to the Constitution say?

Answer 1

It says that any government, that means federal, state, or local, cannot deny someone the right to vote based on their race/color.

Answer 2

The 15th Amendment to the Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that 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." Although ratified on February 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th Amendment would not be fully realized for almost a century. Through the use of poll taxes, literacy tests and other means, Southern states were able to effectively disenfranchise African Americans. It would take the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 before the majority of African Americans in the South were registered to vote.

Answer 3

The 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution states that the right to vote shall not be denied of any citizen based on that citizen's race, or color, or previous condition of servitude. This Amendment was passed in February of 1870 and was the last of the post-Civil War constitutional amendments collectively referred to as the "Reconstruction Amendments".

Answer 4

The framers of the Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, intended that it would enfranchise most black American males. Actually, African‐Americans had voted in several states in the North for almost a century. After the American Revolution, some free blacks met the property and other restrictive suffrage qualifications. As these requirements were gradually abolished, blacks did not share the widening franchise because whites distrusted blacks and Democratic politicians wanted to prevent blacks from voting for their opponents. So in several northern states blacks lost the right to vote as more whites gained it. For example, in 1846 New York under its new constitution retained property qualifications for blacks while eliminating them for whites.
