Before the Civil War, voting rights weren’t linked to convictions. America did not incarcerate in large numbers — and besides, most of the population was not even afforded the right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

With the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, slavery was abolished and Black men got the right to vote. However, an exception in the 13th Amendment still allows for slavery as punishment for a crime. This exception led to "Black Code" laws that essentially criminalized Black life. — PolitiTweet.org
