Why was the Fifteenth Amendment created?

To prevent discrimination against voters based on race
To prevent African Americans from voting
To prevent Congress from extending voting rights
To prevent laws barring the African American vote

Answer 1

To prevent discrimination against voters based on race.

(Adopted in 1870 during Reconstruction, the Fifteenth Amendment prohibited denying the right to vote because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude — effectively barring laws that would prevent African American men from voting.)
