It was under the presidential term of Ulysses S. Grant that the Fifteenth Amendment was passed and added to the Constitution of the United States in the year 1870 during the first four-year term of President Grant. The Fifteenth Amendment stated that no race (more precisely the African Americans) would be denied suffrage (which is the right to vote) based on their color and creed.
This amendment proved to be a major milestone for African Americans yet its implications were strongly restricted in the Southern states until the middle of the next century when Martin Luther King Junior fought for equality of races (more precisely African Americans) in the United States, when John F. Kennedy was the president. Before that, even after the Fifteenth Amendment was added to the Constitution of the United States as a law, the Southern states twisted it in the best possible manner in order to encumber African Americans from using this newly established privilege of theirs.
