13th: abolished slavery

14th: due process and equal protection under the law.

the term "seprate but equal" came into play since racial segregation did not violate the 14th amendment.

15th: Granted african men to vote (women still couldnt vote at this time).

A new system came into play that involved people having to take literacy test or pay a tax to be able to vote which ended up still not allowing most african american men to vote.
