In retrospect, it can be seen that the 15th amendment was in reality only the beginning of a struggle for equality that would continue for more than a century before African Americans could begin to participate fully in American public and civic life.
The 15th Amendment was added to the Constitution just after the Civil War. It says: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.The intent of this amendment was to give black males the right to vote.hile the majority of white males were qualified to vote, other people such as women, blacks, American Indians and members of certain religious groups were not allowed to vote. At the Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia, the Framers of the Constitution could not agree on who should be given the right to vote.
