The 13th amendment said that slavery is abolished. This amendment made it so that everyone that is colored had rights just like everyone else. This amendment had a big impact on me because if this amendment was not created then I would not be able to be in this class and I would not be able to be a person. I would be property.

The 14th amendment means equal protection of law.
The impact that it has done to my contry was that it made everybody equal. It made no one different or better than eachother. The impact it made on was that it made me someone that people can wont juge or treat me different becuase of my skin color .

The 13th amendment explained that slavery is abolished. This amendment states that colored people could not be enslaved anymore. This has made a huge impact on me because if there wasn't any such thing called the 13th amendment, I would be enslaved.

The 15th amendment states that all citizens of the United States can vote. The impact that it has on our country is that now we can at least choose what we want. We can also choose what we think or even know what and who is right. This also has an impact on our country because back in the days when we couldn't do nothing only certain people could've done it that's one privilege that somebody can't take from us. The impact that it has on me is that back in the day since I was born a female I would've never been able to vote. Now I could vote because that is a privilege that nobody can take.

The 15th Amendment states that all citizens 18 and older can vote. We can now have a say in who we want to lead our country. Many people complained about why we couldn't vote and now we have a choice. Blacks can now take advantage of the person we think can make a change in society. We should all know the saying voice your choice.

The 13th amendment stated that slavery was no longer allowed in any state. The only way they could be punished in any way was they would go to jail. That was only allowed if they did a serious crime. It made an impact on my life because I am now allowed to do anything that I want to do.I'm allowed to go to any school I want without getting rejected because of my skin color.The 13th amendment had an impact on the countries, and other peoples lives because now anyone is allowed to do anything that a white person is allowed to do. There's no longer any slavery and colored people can go to any movie theater that they want, they can go to any school and even get to use any bathroom they want.

The 14th Amendment states that Citizens have equal protection in laws. That mean that people can't be treated differently just because the color of there skin. They have to be treated the same, no more miss treatment or no more slavery. They can look at us in a stereotype manor but they can say it. That is the good thing after all this suffering our people did, we get equality and freedom and now they aren't here to share it with us. They died for it but good thing they did that, now we can go to school like white people and be treated the same. All the amendments are special but I think that this one will be more special to them. They fought threw all this slavery to get free but they must have knew it was gonna pay off. Bad thing about it is that they didn't get it all in the same year they got it the year after or something. It has effected me cause they aren't here to share the freedom with us they are dead in there graves and we are here living life with equality, no slavery and we can vote, women even.

The 15th amendment means every citizen has the right to vote no matter of your race, skin color or of your gender. The impact that it has on my country is that everyone has the right to vote they are all equal when it comes to voting. The impact that it has on me is that i have the right to vote even if i'm a girl when i turn 18, because girls back then couldn't vote because of their gender, only men could. Now i have the right to vote when is my time to vote.

14th Amendment is every one should have equal rights. The effect of the 14th amendment to the world shows no one can be treated differently or treated differently just because of the tone of their skin. The 14th amendment has a big effect to me it shows I cant be treated differently just because of the color of my skin.

The 14th Amendment says that every
citizen in the United States has equal protection from the law. This Amendment effected this country because even tough the people had equal protection from the law, the colored weren't getting any protection because many were being lynched, and were dying by mobs and the law wasn't protecting any one of colored. This has impacted me because now I know what I have because of the people that fought for my freedom, and I also know that if the 14th Amendment wasn't here now I would have been a slave.

I choose the 13th Amendment because I know that slavery was bad back then and I also thought that it was wrong to treat colored and white people the way they did.How it has affected on me is,that it's very hard for a lot of colored people then white because I thought that it was not right at all and some people might treat you different then your family. The thing that i have learned was to always keep my head up and to always have respect for other people.

The 13 Amendment talks about how slavery is not allowed. This Amendment is very important because, if the 13 Amendment was not made I would probably be some white man slave. Nor would I be able learn what i know today.

The 14th amendment states that as long as you are a citizen you are equal. The 14th amendment gave colored people a change to be equal. If it wasn't for that law, I would been born into a country full of hate.

I choose the 14th admendment. Equal protection of the law. This law gives the right for everyone to be equal. No one gets treated better because of a particular race. It allows me to know that people won't treat me differently or judge me based of my race/skin color!

I chose the 15th amendment. The 15th amendment says we all have the right to vote.The impact it has had on our country was that we "Colored" people didn't have the right to vote. We couldn't choose our preisdent we had to live with the "White" preisedent they voted for. The 15th amendment had a big impact on me because now that we have the right to vote I can vote when i turn 18. I can now vote for a person that I think will make this world a better place.

The 13th amendment says that there is no slavery in America. This affects me because i am free. I dont have to be held by my will and treated badly just because i am black. Black people today have the same rights as whites.

the 13th amendment did not help me at all how dare all of you fools say that . the 13th aendement started a contraversy of terror towards all blacks . ever heard of worst than slaverly by thomas nast ? the 13 th amendment did free slaves but it did not help us . all throughout the south we were slaughtered while whites sat back and relaxed . NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT HISTORY MAKE SURE YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU RE TALKING ABOUT .
