What ere the Reconstruction amendments?

The Reconstruction Amendments refer to three constitutional amendments ratified in the aftermath of the American Civil War, aimed at addressing issues related to slavery and civil rights. The 13th Amendment (1865) abolished slavery, while the 14th Amendment (1868) granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States and ensured equal protection under the law. The 15th Amendment (1870) aimed to protect the voting rights of African American men by prohibiting the denial of suffrage based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Together, these amendments sought to promote equality and integrate formerly enslaved individuals into American society.
