jul 9, 1868 - 14th Amendment

Description:

With the abolishment of Slavery, this amendment gave former slaves citizenship, and legalized birthright citizenship, as a way to legalize their freedom.

This amendment also did not amount to much, because of the continued oppression of blacks via black codes and other such laws.
