The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery in the union. Until the amendment was passed legality of slavery was left to the states to determine.
The 14th and 15th amendments were emotional reactions to the abhorrent institution of slavery. Their scope was meant to diminish the ability of a state, or group of states, to effectively mount a future resistance to federal authority on the scale that came very close to succeeding in the civil war.
The 14th amendment made the first 10 amendments weaker by delegating new authority to the federal government. The 9th and 10th amendments affirmed the right of the states to control issues within their borders. The 14th amendment took that right from the states and gave it to the federal government.

Each of these amendments establishes new laws that apply to the entire nation.

Because the supremacy clause states that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, all states have to follow these amendments. State laws cannot contradict these federal laws.
