Official answers

- During Reconstruction重建时期
- (With the) 15th Amendment（通过）第十五修正案
- 18701870 年
Any one of these answers is accepted unless the question asks for more than one.
Why this is the answer
After the Civil War, during the period called Reconstruction, the 15th Amendment was ratified in 1870. It says the right to vote cannot be denied because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, so formerly enslaved men gained the legal right to vote. In practice, many states later used unfair rules to block Black voters, but the constitutional right dates to 1870. Any of the listed answers is correct.
