The 15th Amendment was ratified in 3 February 1870. The 15th Amendment protect the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Also guarantee that former slaves would retain the right to vote by banning state suffrage laws that discriminated against any group of citizens on the basis of race. But this amendment does not work well because many whites use all strategies to denied blacks rights. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=15th%20amendment&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.42965579,d.b2U&biw=1024&bih=537&safe=on&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=eB0uUdTEIJSe9QSek4GoAQ#imgrc=Y0nDAxLjNjSFnM%3A%3Br-K7c4NQ3XlLuM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Falexanderstreet.typepad.com%252F.a%252F6a00d8341c1bf053ef01156f93bc81970b-800wi%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Falexanderstreet.typepad.com%252Falexander_street_press_ne%252F2009%252F03%252Ftoday-in-history-1870.html%3B390%3B300

Literacy Tests were required in order to register, and the tests were made to prevent Blacks from passing. Grandfather Clauses were passed which prevented anyone from registering to vote unless their grandfathers had been eligible to vote. Descendants of slaves were thus denied the right to vote. Many states enacted poll taxes. Anyone who could not afford the tax (usually poor whites and Blacks) were denied the right to vote. With the threat of violence to the Black voter, or his family, and the fear of loosing a job, or the cost of paying the taxes, many Blacks simply gave up trying to vote and concentrated on trying to keep a job that would enable a family to survive the economic conditions in the south.
