Accepted answers:

Why this is the correct answer
Black men gained the right to vote after the Civil War with the ratification of the 15th Amendment in 1870 during the Reconstruction era. Before this amendment, voting rights were largely restricted to white men. This was a major step forward in expanding democracy, though enforcement was often blocked by discriminatory state laws.
