The Thirteenth Amendment:
The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, from 1865, abolished and continues to prohibit slavery in the United States. The African-American received legal freedom, but nothing more. The true revolution for them was only after 1954. The congress did not propose any decision for equal rights for blacks and whites
The Fourteenth Amendment:
The Fourteenth Amendment is an example for a radical republican legislation. The first section formally defines citizenship and requires the states to provide civil rights.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
The amendment includes a section that prevents the election of any person to the Congress who had held any of certain offices and then engaged in insurrection, rebellion, or treason. Another section confirmed that the United States would not pay "damages" for the loss of slaves, nor debts that had been incurred by the Confederacy. Most of the south states, except Tennessee, rejected the amendment, and they paid dearly later.
The Fifteenth Amendment:
The Fifteenth Amendment provides that "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".
This amendment was also intended against the south, that tried to prevent political rights from the blacks.
