This book explores the significance of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, both in the context of when they were added to the U.S. Constitution in the 19th century, and when the amendments later became crucial aspects of American jurisprudence; and explains the foundations on which the rights of American citizens—especially black citizens—are based.
