After the Civil War reconstruction started to happen. they were trying to reconstruct and put the country back together. They tried to connect and make the south closer to the union. Abraham Lincoln started talking about this. Talking about the 13, 14,and 15 amendments. The 13th amendment ended the slavery in the United States. The 14th states that anyone born in the United States is automatically a US citizen. The 15th Amendment states that the African American people are allowed to vote and are equal to the other citizens. These three amendments were not not legally used to protect and defend the old African American slaves.
