It said that the right to vote should not be denied because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. When the 15th Amendment was first introduced it was not very enforced. It did not fully pick up until about a century later. States used things like literacy tests to keep African Americans from voting. Action was taken to make this change because it was unfair to only let white males vote and no one else. Male African Americans were affected by this amendment because it led to the ability for them to vote. ]]> 2021-04-16 12:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kjrudolp/2ax1r5f03jsx51l1/wish/1425140245 Zenblade3383 https://padlet.com/kjrudolp/2ax1r5f03jsx51l1/wish/1425140704 This made the senators elected by the people instead of by state legislators.
