The Reconstruction Amendments refer to three constitutional amendments adopted in the United States after the Civil War. These amendments aimed to address issues related to slavery and civil rights for newly freed African Americans. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th Amendment granted citizenship and equal protection under the law, and the 15th Amendment ensured the right to vote regardless of race. These amendments were crucial in shaping the post-war landscape of America. They sought to integrate formerly enslaved individuals into society and protect their rights. However, their implementation faced significant challenges, leading to ongoing struggles for civil rights in the years that followed.
