Amendment 15
The Fifteenth Amendment was passed after the Civil War, specifically in 1870. It granted African American men the right to vote and prohibited the denial of voting rights based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. However, it did not prevent other forms of voter discrimination, such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and intimidation tactics targeted at African American voters.

The Fifteenth Amendment was passed after the Civil War, specifically in 1870. It granted African American men the right to vote and prohibited the denial of voting rights based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. However, it did not prevent other forms of voter discrimination, such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and intimidation tactics targeted at African American voters.
In the United States, the right to vote was always established. However, the 15th amendment made it so that voting could not be denied to people, based on their race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Also, the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote. In addition, the 26th amendment states that the voting age be changed to 18, instead of 21.
Some things...the 15th amendment was said that no citizen's vote could be taken away because of his race or color or because he was once a slave. the 19th amendment stated that all women in the US were allowed to vote. The 22nd amendment limited a presidency of a single person to only 2 terms of office (8 years). The 26th amendment changed the voting age from 21 to 18+.
Because men could be drafted into the military when they were 18, it was deemed unfair that the legal voting age was 21. The Twenty-Sixth Amendment lowered the voting age to 18 so that those eligible for the draft would still have a voice in the nation's decisions.

The 24th Amendment stated poll taxes could not be used to deny a person the right to vote.
