To match each quote with the corresponding Reconstruction amendment, we can consider the themes and topics addressed in each quote.
1. **"It is easy to protect the interests of the rich and powerful. But it is a great labor to protect the interests of the poor and downtrodden." — Thaddeus Stevens**
- This quote reflects the broader themes of social justice and equality, reminiscent of the **14th Amendment**, which guarantees equal protection under the law for all citizens.
2. **"Suffrage must wait for education." — Dr. Lyman Abbott**
- This quote speaks to the issue of voting rights and the importance of education. It can be tied to the **15th Amendment**, which addresses the right to vote regardless of race, but the quote suggests an inequality in who should have that right based on education.
3. **"Mr. Madison thought it wrong to admit in the Constitution the idea of property in man." — Charles Sumner**
- This quote directly addresses the issue of slavery and human rights, correlating with the **13th Amendment**, which abolished slavery.

Thank you for your patience, and I understand the need to clarify. Let's reevaluate the quotes and their connections to the Reconstruction amendments more precisely:
1. **"It is easy to protect the interests of the rich and powerful. But it is a great labor to protect the interests of the poor and downtrodden." — Thaddeus Stevens**
- This quote emphasizes the struggle for the welfare of the poor and marginalized, aligning best with the **14th Amendment**, which guarantees equal protection under the law.
2. **"Suffrage must wait for education." — Dr. Lyman Abbott**
- This quote addresses the topic of voting rights and suggests that voting should be contingent upon education. This corresponds with the **15th Amendment**, which granted the right to vote regardless of race but does not mention education. Thus, it critiques the extension of suffrage and aligns most with discussions around this amendment.
3. **"Mr. Madison thought it wrong to admit in the Constitution the idea of property in man." — Charles Sumner**
- This quote directly addresses the moral considerations surrounding slavery and ties directly to the **13th Amendment**, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude.
4. **"I wished that I were the owner of every southern slave, that I might cast off the shackles from their limbs." — Thaddeus Stevens**
- This quote also connects to the sentiment of emancipation and aligns with the **13th Amendment**, as it expresses a desire to end the bondage of slaves.
To finalize:
- **Thaddeus Stevens (Quote 1)**: **14th Amendment**
- **Dr. Lyman Abbott (Quote 2)**: **15th Amendment**
- **Charles Sumner (Quote 3)**: **13th Amendment**
- **Thaddeus Stevens (Quote 4)**: **13th Amendment**
I apologize for any confusion in my previous response; the last two quotes are clearly connected to the **13th Amendment** and reiterate that theme. If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
