Question:
The Reconstruction Amendments, or the Civil War Amendments, are the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, adopted between 1865 and 1870. The amendments were a part of the implementation of the Reconstruction of the American South which occurred after the Civil War.
Explain in 3-4 sentences with details what each of the Reconstruction Amendments said and established.
1. The Thirteenth Amendment, adopted in 1865, abolished slavery and involuntary servitude in the United States. It fundamentally changed the legal status of African Americans, granting them freedom and ending the practice of slavery that had been prevalent in the South.
2. The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves. It also provided equal protection under the law and due process to all individuals, ensuring that states could not deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
3. The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, prohibited the denial of the right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. It aimed to protect the voting rights of African American men, ensuring that they could not be discriminated against in their ability to participate in the democratic process by voting in local, state, and federal elections.
