1 gen 1870 anni - 1870: 15th Amendment 1870 [POLITICAL]

Descrizione:

Stated that no person could be denied the vote based on race, colour or previous condition of servitude. This is not altruistic - Republicans intended this to ensure that AAs had the vote in the South and the North.

Evidence of the Federal Government --> congress - helping civil rights.

However, the Act did not forbid voting qualifications which began to be imposed after the Hayes Compromise of 1877 and which, in practice, denied AAs the rights to vote.

Evidence of the obstruction of political rights at state level. State persistence.
