that all African Americans were citizens.

Explanation:

The 14th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, passed in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves and guaranteed all citizens "equal protection of the laws."

One of three amendments passed during the Reconstruction era to abolish slavery and establish civil and legal rights for black Americans, it would become the basis for many landmark Supreme Court decisions over the years.

The Reconstruction Amendments are the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments to the United States Constitution, adopted between 1865 and 1870, the five years immediately following the Civil War. The last time the Constitution had been amended was with the Twelfth Amendment more than 60 years earlier in 1804
