What was the wonderful 15th Amendment that would be proposed by the Radical Republicans that followed the 14th Amendment that made former slaves American citizens and prevented most Confederate leaders from holding political offices?

Answer:

The 15th Amendment of the United States was to allow all of its citizens, no matter their race, beliefs, or color to vote.

This followed the 14th Amendment because it freed the slaves and allowed them to become American Citizens. The 15th Amendment worked almost like a reminder to show that the slaves were free by saying they could vote as citizens.
