B. African American men were granted the right to vote.
- Only days after the end of the American Civil War, in 1865, Frederick Douglass, elected president of the <u>Convention of Black Americans</u>, spoke during a meeting of the African Slavery Society, explaining why the black men required the right to vote and the need to make justice for them. Here is an excerpt of what his speech:
<em>“…If the Negro knows enough to pay taxes to support government, he knows enough to vote; taxation and representation should go together. If he knows enough to shoulder a musket and fight for the flag for the government, he knows enough to vote…What I ask for the Negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice.”
</em>
- Thus, in 1869, while this issue was being discussed in the Congress, 150 black men from several states gathered for the <u>Convention of Black Americans</u>, which took place in Washington, D.C. and was the first one in the U.S. history.
- After debating in the Congress, the 15th Amendment, which granted male African American the right to vote, was finally adopted in 1870. Moreover, the Article 1 of such Amendment states that <em>"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.”

The Battle of Galveston was a naval and land battle of the American Civil War, when Confederate forces under Major Gen. John B. Magruder expelled occupying Union troops from the city of Galveston, Texas on January 1, 1863.
After the loss of the cutter Harriet Lane, the Union Fleet Commander William B. Renshaw blew up the stranded vessel USS Westfield to save it from falling into enemy hands. Union troops on shore thought the fleet was surrendering, and laid down their arms. The battle is sometimes called the Second Battle of Galveston, as the Battle of Galveston Harbor (October 1862) is sometimes called the First Battle of Galveston.
