The Fifteenth Amendment was created to prevent discrimination on voters based on race.

Option A

Explanation:

The fifteenth amendment gave the African Americans their right to vote. The amendment gave the citizens their right to vote despite a person's race, colour or any other previous conditions of servitude.

America always suffered race and colour discrimination and slavery too. The amendment took place after the creation of the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments which abolished slavery and gave the citizenship status to African American people who face extreme discrimination before. Although men got their right to vote, women of all colours were still not allowed to vote until 1920.
