Slavery was abolished and African-Americans were protected.
13th amendment abolished slavery. 14th granted citizens protection. 15th was male suffrage.
However, during the Reconstruction period in the South, African-Americans were not always ensured these rights as legal enforcement would almost always turn a blind eye. Also around this time the Klu Klux Klan emerged.
