The Civil War Amendments. The 13th (1865), 14th (1868), and 15th Amendments (1870) were the first amendments made to the U.S. constitution in 60 years. Known collectively as the Civil War Amendments, they were designed to ensure the equality for recently emancipated slaves.
One result of the Civil War was the addition of three new amendments to the U. S. Constitution: the 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th granted blacks citizenship and equal protection; and the 15th Amendment attempted to secure the right to vote for newly freed slaves.
