Which group was still unable to vote after the 15th Amendment was passed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You figure it out, I'll help. White men were always able to vote. Black men had to fight for the right to vote. All women had to fight for the right to vote. Two amendments were passed to allow voting rights to the two that had to fight for their rights. Whichever one that Amendment does not apply to is your answer.

well i thought about it immedietely thinking black men but then i remember women didn't get the right till 1990 which was after black men so im not completely sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Women got the right to vote LONG before 1990. Find the Amendment and read which it gave the rights to. You can find the whole constitution any number of places online. Just google "15th Amendment"

cool thanks man

OpenStudy (anonymous):

some of the records i found weren't accurate so im kinda going out on a whim lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The text of the Amendment is that no one can be denied the right to vote based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude". It doesn't say anything about gender. The one that gives the right to women (19th) as well states "shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex". (And it was 1920 by the way)

Also, if you need to reference them almost every textbook has the whole text or at least the amendment in the back, but also this site. http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution.html Totally legit and official, gives the texts of the constitution and the declaration.

cool ppreciate it man

OpenStudy (anonymous):

almost every government / history textbook* A math textbook certainly wouldn't have it. That'd be silly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woah, women could vote way way way before 1990
