The Reconstruction Amendments are the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments to the United States Constitution, adopted between 1865 and 1870. They were meant to secure the freedom of former slaves and to prevent discrimination in certain civil rights to former slaves and all citizens of the United States.

  • The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except for those duly convicted of a crime.
  • The Fourteenth Amendment states citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws for all people.
  • The Fifteenth Amendment prohibits discrimination in voting rights on the basis of race, color, or former servitude.
