Answer:

Fifteen amendment was passed by the congress on 26th Feb 1869, it was ratified on February 3, 1870. It granted the African American men the right to vote.

It was opposed by activists like Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton because it didn't gave voting rights to women. The American Women Suffrage Association supported this amendment.
