Answer:
Civil War; 13th; 14th; 15th; vote.
Explanation:
The American Civil War was also referred to as War between the States and it was fought from the 12th of April, 1861 to the 9th of April, 1865. The war was simply between the Southern states that seceded to form Confederate States and the Northern states that were still loyal to the Union.
After the Civil War, slavery was outlawed in the United States with the writing and passage of the 13th amendment. Additionally, thanks to the passage of the 14th and 15th amendments, African Americans were also granted the right to vote as well as protection under the law as a citizen of the United States.
The 13th Amendment of 1865 was an amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America which formally abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime committed by a convict within the jurisdiction.
