After the Civil War, the US Constitution became a means to ensure that African-Americans had rights in American society. This was due to the passage of the following three amendments:
1) 13th amendment- This outlawed slavery or forced labor all over the US.
2) 14th amendment- This amendment states that any person born on US soil or naturalized has all of the rights/freedoms guaranteed in the US Constitution.
3) 15th amendment- This amendment states that a person cannot be stopped from voting based on race, color, or past servitude. Essentially, this makes it so that a government can't stop a person from voting based on the fact that they were a slave before this time period.
May I ask, what text? Why are so many people posting this type of question without adding the passage?!?
Lincoln's proposal called for the liberation of slaves, but it also gave former Confederate governments latitude to impose temporary restrictions on the rights of freedmen.
President Lincoln put up a reconstruction plan in December that would have allowed the Confederate states to form new state governments following the taking of allegiance vows by 10% of their male population and the states' recognition of the long-term liberation of former slaves.
Lincoln's proposal was criticised by the Radical Republicans because they felt it was too forgiving of the South. Radical Republicans thought Lincoln's Reconstruction plan was too lenient because, in their eyes, the South had started the war and should be punished accordingly.
