Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each sentence based on US Constitutional Amendments and Reconstruction:

The 15th Amendment focuses on African American male voting rights (prohibiting denial of vote based on race, color, or previous servitude), part of Congressional Reconstruction.

Second Sentence:

The 13th Amendment (abolishing slavery) was ratified under President Johnson’s Reconstruction Plan (Johnson’s plan was more lenient, and the 13th was ratified early in Reconstruction).

Third Sentence:

The 14th Amendment (defining citizenship, equal protection) was ratified under Congressional Reconstruction (which emphasized stricter terms and civil rights for freedmen).
