13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments

After the civil war there were three new amendments passes, they were amendments 13, 14, and 15. The thirteenth amendment made slavery illegal everywhere in the United States which left more than 40 million newly freed slaves out on the street which was what the Freedmen's Bureau fixed. The 14th amendment granted citizen ship to all freedmen and equal protection under the law, this amendment also prevented and confederate veterans to hold office which helped prevent any further succession due to corrupt command. The last new amendment (the 15th) granted the right to vote to all men regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, this amendment helped guaranty the rights of African Americans because it gave them the opportunity to vote in a leader that they knew would not try to enslave or hurt them.
