Women were basically indignant about African Americans being able to vote before they were. The 15th amendment allowed African American men to vote by stating that the right of citizens of the US to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the US or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Not until the 20th century would the Supreme Court invoke the 15th Amendment in striking down state grandfather clauses and white primaries. But such changes had little effect on Black voting; during World War II, only 5 percent of Southern Blacks were registered to vote. Not until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 did discrimination in voting begin to end and courts enforce the 15th Amendment.
