The fourteenth amendment was passed in 1868 and helped to protect the rights of the freed slaves. It stated that everyone who was born in the United States, //including// African-Americans, has the same rights as all other Americans. It also prohibited any state from making or enforcing laws that took away or violated a citizens civil rights; but even after the Fourteenth Amendment passed, many African-Americans still didn’t have all the rights Whites had, like voting. Many Africans didn't get the chance to vote because the people didn't want them to have that kind of power. Voting provided power to change things. These Whites said that Blacks weren’t smart enough to vote and would make the wrong decision. They purposely didn't tell them when to vote or where. d_holloman@yahoo.com Hearts
