Explanation:

The Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibited the government from denying a citizen the right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. It upheld equal voting rights constitutionally and expanded the right - to - vote to more Americans, mainly African - American men. However, all Americans did not gain the right to vote without limitations (women still couldn't vote). African Americans became more involved in Congress, not less. Southern lawmakers created poll taxes and literacy tests to circumvent the amendment.
