The significant aspect of the Fourteenth Amendment is that "It granted African Americans in the United States citizenship and therefore voting rights." Ratified in 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment provided a broad definition of citizenship and aimed to protect the rights of former slaves, ensuring equal protection under the law. However, it is important to note that while it granted citizenship, it did not directly grant voting rights, which were addressed later by the Fifteenth Amendment.

the civil war

Here are the events arranged in chronological order:
- Election of 1860
- Georgia secedes from the Union (January 1861)
- The Civil War (April 1861 - April 1865)
- Dred Scott court case (Decided in March 1857, but it is significant in the context leading up to the Civil War)
- Founding of the Freedmen's Bureau (Established in March 1865)
- Removal of black legislators from the Georgia General Assembly during Reconstruction (September 1868)
Note: The inclusion of the Dred Scott case is a little unusual in this context as it predates the election of 1860 but is included here due to its significance in the events leading up to the Civil War. However, if strictly ordered by occurrence, it will go as the first event due to its ruling date. So, if including the Dred Scott case, the appropriate order taking place most prominently is:
- Dred Scott court case (1857)
- Election of 1860
- Georgia secedes from the Union
- The Civil War
- Founding of the Freedmen's Bureau
- Removal of black legislators from the Georgia General Assembly during Reconstruction
