Why did the english citizens leave for the colonies in america

The first permanent English settlement in America was Jamestown, founded in 1607 as an economic venture. What were the reasons for English colonization in America? England wanted to establish an American colony to increase her wealth and power. England hoped to find silver and gold in America.

regarding the law, the 15th amendment was specifically designed thinking in the rights of black free men.

even though ratified on february 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th amendment would not be fully applied for a long time.poll taxes and literacy tests would allow southern states disenfranchise african americans. only in 1965 the voting rights for african americans would be actually able to vote in the south.

in 1965, president johnson signed the voting rights act, which aimed to overcome legal barriers that prevented african americans from voting as it was guaranteed by the 15th amendment to the u.s. constitution.
