12 févr. 1869 - 15th Amendment
Description:
This amendment was meant to ensure that there was racial equality in voting. However, when it was ratified, restrictions like literacy tests and poll taxes were used in southern states to keep African Americans from voting. It wasn’t until the 1960s that the U.S. finally achieved significant racial equality in voting.Ajouté au bande de temps:
