Do Indians have the right to vote in the United States?

"Not at all. Black people won the right to vote after fighting for about a hundred years." I agree with this.

But it is wrong to say that "the right to vote was only gradually gained in the years after 1870."

The final legal significance of black suffrage was confirmed by the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution passed in 1870. This amendment stipulates that: The federal and state parties shall not have any right to vote on the basis of race, color, or former Deny or deprive citizens of their right to vote due to slavery. Since then, black people have officially had the right to vote as American citizens.

The Supreme Court’s decision on the Slaughterhouse Case in 1873 was a setback in black civil rights at the federal level. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that control of civil rights remained with the states, not the federal government, and declared unconstitutional federal civil rights laws that prevent individuals from racially discriminating against others. This ruling effectively gave Southern states the power to enact laws that discriminated against and excluded blacks. At the same time, after Reconstruction, the southern government began to make various additional provisions for suffrage, such as: literacy tests, grandfather clauses and poll taxes, setting thresholds for black people to enjoy the right to vote, which was equivalent to bypassing the 15th Amendment , black people were deprived of their right to vote.

Until the 1950s, under the leadership of the black pastor Martin Luther King, blacks began large-scale non-violent protests. As a result of the struggle, segregation in the South was forced to be abolished. . At the same time, under the pressure of the expanding black struggle, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act proposed by President Kennedy in 1964, which restricted the use of administrative means or cultural tests to prevent black people from voting.
