The three amendments were of great importance in protecting the civil rights of the black population. The federal government was now committed to protecting the rights and freedoms of all American citizens. It was a step of recognizing the equality of all Americans, regardless of race. Power is given to the people by granting suffrage, the fifteenth amendment prohibits denying an American the right to vote on the basis of any signs (Crash Course in US History). The three amendments have made a significant contribution to the weakening of discrimination.
Despite the fact that it was now considered illegal to restrict people in voting rights on a racial basis, this did not interfere with the establishment of various kinds of qualifications. In response to the amendments, the Democrats of the South began to seriously restrict the black population, a number of these discriminatory laws were called the Jim Crow Laws (Crash Course in US History). The infringement of rights and freedoms was observed in everything: the literacy test, the poll tax, racial segregation, reaching enormous proportions.
The continuation of racial discrimination could not leave the black population indifferent. The protests in the South were spontaneous and massive, but ended only in a large number of black deaths. The big cities in the south were not completely under the Jim Crow Laws, and black Americans found more leeway in them (Crash Course in US History). This resulted in large black populations moving to the cities, and white city dwellers demanding more laws to limit opportunities for African Americans.
The study of historical patterns is important for confronting the mistakes of the past. Confronting such a narrative is important because there is a big difference between the legal and the actual situation. On the one hand, all Americans have long been endowed with equal rights; in fact, racism still exists. Resistance measures are important for demonstrating citizenship and concern for the future of the country. Repressive measures make it possible to regulate social conditions at the time of exacerbation of social contradictions, which is happening now.
