Explanation:

The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, stated that the right to vote could not be denied based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." This constitutionally upheld equal voting rights (to an extent, though enforcement was an issue) and expanded the franchise to more Americans (specifically Black men at the time). However, it did not make all Americans able to vote without limitations (women still couldn't vote, for example). African - American involvement in Congress actually increased in the post - Civil War era. Southern lawmakers, in an attempt to subvert the amendment, did create poll taxes and literacy tests.
