The Union winning the Civil War, ultimately abolishing slavery within the whole country.

Explanation: The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments (the Reconstruction Amendments) were adopted after the Civil War to abolish slavery (13th), guarantee citizenship and equal protection (14th), and protect voting rights regardless of race (15th). They were enacted because the Union victory made nationwide abolition and legal protections for formerly enslaved people possible.
