The longest-lasting victory for civil rights achieved during Reconstruction was the ratification of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. These amendments abolished slavery, granted citizenship rights and equal protection under the law, and extended voting rights to African American men, respectively. Although subsequent laws and practices, such as Black Codes and Jim Crow laws, would undermine these rights, the amendments themselves remain significant legal foundations for civil rights in the United States.
