Answer 1

The Thirteenth Amendment, passed in 1865, abolished slavery in the United States. It stated that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

The Fourteenth Amendment, passed in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves, and guaranteed equal protection under the law. It also prohibited states from denying any person life, liberty, or property without due process of law.

The Fifteenth Amendment, passed in 1870, prohibited the denial of the right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. It was aimed at protecting the voting rights of African American men.

Overall, the Reconstruction Amendments aimed to ensure the full rights and protections of citizenship for African Americans and to dismantle the legal basis for slavery and discrimination in the United States.
