The correct answer is: Former slaves were allowed to vote.
The 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1870, granted former slaves the right to vote. This amendment was a significant milestone in American history as it aimed to protect the voting rights of African American men and ensure that they were not denied the franchise based on race or color. However, it is important to note that while the amendment granted African American men the right to vote, it did not guarantee their ability to exercise that right free from discrimination and obstacles such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and intimidation tactics. These discriminatory practices persisted for many years, and it was not until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that substantial progress was made in protecting African Americans' voting rights.
