The two amendments that guaranteed the rights and freedoms of African Americans post-Civil War are:

  1. 14th Amendment - This amendment granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves, and provided for equal protection under the laws.

  2. 15th Amendment - This amendment granted African American men the right to vote, prohibiting the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude."

So the correct responses are:

  • 14th Amendment
  • 15th Amendment
