Answer:

If this is from PLATO, the correct answer is all women.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fifteenth Amendment was the first to extend the right to vote to more citizens by making it illegal to ban people from voting based on their race. However, this amendment didn't address the issue of gender. Therefore, when the Fifteenth Amendment was ratified in 1870, African American men could take to the polls but African American women could not. White women also were not allowed to vote.

If you mean ethnicity wise, African Americans (men only) received the right to vote in 1870. If you mean when did women get to vote, it was in 1920, August 26.
