By enacting the black codes, the southern states restricted most newly freed black men until which amendment was passed?
a. 13th
c. 15th
b. 14th
d. 16th

the answer is A I think

c. 15th

Explanation:

The 15th Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits Federal and state governments to deny a citizen the right to vote based on race, color or any previous condition of servitude. Other amendments that came before abolished slavery and provided citizenship and equal protection under the laws to African Americans, but much Southern government continued to restrict civil rights to African Americans with laws that are called Black Codes.

The 15th Amendment aimed to end that and give African Americans Civil Rights. The problem was that the US Supreme Court issued a series of decisions from 1890 to 1910 which restricted the full scope of this amendment, which allowed the Southern States to raise barriers to voter registration. It was only in 1965 with the Voting Right Act of 1965 that African Americans were able to have full Civil Rights, with the abolition of literacy tests and discriminatory devices.
