Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Reconstruction amendments - the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments - overturned the Supreme Court decision in Dred Scott v. Sanford, which held that African Americans could not be citizens of the United States and had no legal rights or protections. These amendments abolished slavery, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States (including African Americans), and prohibited states from denying citizens the right to vote based on race or previous condition of servitude.
