As a result of the Civil War, the Fourteenth Amendment extended civil rights and protections to freed enslaved people.

Explanation: The 14th Amendment (1868) granted citizenship to formerly enslaved people and guaranteed due process and equal protection under the law, preventing states from denying those rights. It was not enacted by the Founding Fathers (they predated the amendment) and it did not give children war-fighting rights or specifically extend nationwide voting rights to women.
