Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The 15th Amendment gave all male citizens, including former slaves, the right to vote. Unfortunately, Jim Crow laws that called for poll taxes and literacy tests effectively limited African American access to the polls until the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

Answer 2

The major thing that the passage of the 15th Amendment during the Reconstruction Era accomplished was that it "outlawed voting discrimination based on race," since this was intended to ensure that blacks in the South could vote following the Civil War.
