Answer: C. Race no longer barred citizens from voting -> African Americans were guaranteed the right to vote.

Explanation:

The 15th Amendment to the American Constitution was ratified in 1870, after the Civil War and the Reconstruction Era. This Amendment <u>secured voting rights for all Americans, irrespective of "race, color or previous condition of servitude". </u>

The American Congress passed this amendment in order <u>to make it clear that freed slaves had the right to vote (a debated issue at the time). </u>

<u>After the Civil War and during the Reconstruction Era,</u> African American citizens were often denied rights and liberties, based on color of their skin and their race. This amendment stated that race, color or previous condition of servitude wasn't acceptable as a reason for an African American citizen not to vote.

The Fifteenth Amendment was ratified in 1870 in the Reconstruction era. It prohibits any US citizen being barred from voting based on race (C). It says:

Section 1. The <em>right of citizens of the United States</em> <em>to vote</em> shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of <em>race</em>, <em>color</em>, or previous <em>condition of servitude</em>.

Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Although it should be noted that until the civil right's movement of the 1960s the Fifteenth Amendment was not respected in many segregated American states. This would change in 1965 with the Voting Rights Act that provided protections for voting rights and forbade creation of any laws that resulted in racial discrimination in voting (among others).
