From Civil War to Civil Rights
By: Lia Payne
13th Amendment
The 13th amendment declared that slaves were free! Slave owners had to give up their slaves, so that they could make their own choices.
14th Amendment
The 14th said that all people that were born in the U.S. were citizens. It also declared something called due process, it stated that everybody had to go through the same procedures through everything. My favorite part of the 14th amendment is that the government can't treat whites a better than blacks.
15th Ammendment
The 15th amendment allowed all MEN to vote. Black men still had to pay fees for voting.
