Answer:
a terrible and bloody Civil War freed enslaved Americans. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution (1868) granted African Americans the rights of citizenship. However, this did not always translate into the ability to vote. Black voters were systematically turned away from state polling places. To combat this problem, Congress passed the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870. It says:
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.
Yet states still found ways to circumvent the Constitution and prevent blacks from voting. Poll taxes, literacy tests, fraud and intimidation all turned African Americans away from the polls. Until the Supreme Court struck it down in 1915, many states used the "grandfather clause " to keep descendents of slaves out of elections. The clause said you could not vote unless your grandfather had voted -- an impossibility for most people whose ancestors were slaves.
This unfair treatment was debated on the street, in the Congress and in the press. A full fifty years after the Fifteenth Amendment passed, black Americans still found it difficult to vote, especially in the South." What a Colored Man Should Do to Vote", lists many of the barriers African American voters faced.

You need to include the proper contexts and references to better help you.
Trying to be of help we are going to assume that you are talking about George Nelson and his relationship to the fur trade in colonial American times. If that is teh case, then we can comment on the following.
George Nelson was born in Quebec, in 1798 after his parents relocated during the American Revolutionary War.
The trials and tribulations that Nelson describes were the ones presented in the fur trade when he worked for the "XY Company" in 1802. He was in charge of a fur trade outpost in the Northern Michigan Territory(modern-day Wisconsin). He was very young, he was 16 years old, and his inexperience created many conflicts buy his intelligence was an asset for the company.
Later in his life, we worked for the North West Company and the Hudson Bay Company. During his work life as a clerk in these companies, he kept the journals of the daily events. Today, the importance of these documents is that the journals describe the life and trade during those interesting times in North America.
