The Civil War resulted in an increase in the political power of the national government, as it established the authority of the federal government over the states and expanded its power to regulate interstate commerce, collect taxes, and enforce civil rights. This was evidenced by the adoption of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution, which abolished slavery, granted citizenship and equal protection under the law to all people born or naturalized in the US, and prohibited the denial of suffrage based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
