jul 21, 1868 - 14th Amendment
Ratified
Description:
Guarantees due process and protection under the law to African Americans. This is important because before this, the people running the voting polls could just not allow an African American in because of them being so. This made it so they needed an actual reason to deny then the right to vote.
