Answer:

Fifteenth Amendment, amendment (1870) to the Constitution of the United States that guaranteed that the right to vote could not be denied based on “race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” The amendment complemented and followed in the wake of the passage of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth amendments, which abolished slavery and guaranteed citizenship, respectively, to African Americans. The passage of the Fifteenth Amendment and its subsequent ratification (February 3, 1870) effectively enfranchised African American men while denying the right to vote to women of all colors. After the Civil War, during the period known as Reconstruction (1865–77), the amendment was successful in encouraging African Americans to vote. ... Many African Americans were even elected to public office during the 1880s in the states that formerly had constituted the Confederate States of America.

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why this would be your answer is because the word "Isolationism" best fits the description of what was said in the question. There were many countries that practiced Isolationism, like  the United States, China, and etc. The way the United States practiced Isolationism was by trying to avoid political relations before World War I, but stopped after World War II. But, because of all the World Wars and problems in other international countries, it made it hard for the United States to practice Isolationism, so the United States stopped practicing Isolationism and started to care about other international and economical problems. Since they stopped practicing Isolationism, they started helping other countries by supporting the economy, for example, the Marshall plan helped Western Europe's economy get back in shape. Another country that practiced Isolationism was China. During the Ming Dynasty, China tried to avoid a lot of other international political and economic relations, but it became so hard  to do that to the point where they just gave up and started to listen to other politics around them.

The First Amendment allows Americans to have basic freedoms, including speech, press, and assembly.  Without these freedoms, we would not be able to live life as we do today.  These freedoms enable us to express our opinions freely.
