To get the answer, you can recall the key details about the Reconstruction Amendments. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th Amendment defined citizenship and equal protections, and the 15th Amendment extended voting rights to Black American men. However, these amendments did not prevent the establishment of discriminatory practices such as Jim Crow laws, which maintained segregation and limited voting rights for Black Americans.
