Back then the Amendment had a positive and negative effect. at first it only applied to the 11 confederate states and then to the rest of the United States. it was a positive impact because it relinquished freedom to those that were taken from their homes and enslaved for others benefit. It was a negative effect for the confederate states because they relied on the labor of slaves to keep their plantations booming and their everyday life easy and weightless.

For more than 50 years, the overwhelming majority of African American citizens were reduced to second-class citizenship under the “Jim Crow” segregation system. During that time, African Americans sought to secure their rights and improve their position through organizations such as "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" and the "National Urban League" and through the individual efforts of reformers like Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, and A. Philip Randolph. The most direct attack on the problem of African American disfranchisement came in 1965. Prompted by reports of continuing discriminatory voting practices in many Southern states, President Lyndon B. Johnson, himself a southerner, urged Congress on March 15, 1965, to pass legislation “which will make it impossible to thwart the 15th amendment.” He reminded Congress that “we cannot have government for all the people until we first make certain it is government of and by all the people.” The Voting Rights Act of 1965, extended in 1970, 1975, and 1982, abolished all remaining deterrents to exercising the franchise and authorized Federal supervision of voter registration where necessary.

The Fourteenth Amendment affirmed the new rights of freed women and men in 1868. The law stated that everyone born in the United States, including former slaves, was an American citizen. No state could pass a law that took away their rights to “life, liberty, or property.” The Fourteenth Amendment also added the first mention of gender into the Constitution. It declared that all male citizens over twenty-one years old should be able to vote.

The effect the fourteenth amendment has on today is that all woman and men have equal rights no matter what race. Also a lot more people make it a must to have their children born here in order for them to have better opportunities and live an easier life style. The fourteenth amendment made it possible for Obama to become president regardless of his skin color because he was a United states citizen.
