Amendment #15
Section 1.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude--
Section 2.
The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

The fifteenth amendment states that there will be no denying the right to peoples votes because of their race, color or servitude.

The thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendment all had do with freeing of the slaves. The image above shows the progressing of when slaves were set free and how the amendment began to try to make the united states equal for ever man. The fifteenth amendment gives the right for ever man to vote and there will be no denying by the states because of someones race, color, or servitude.
