Explanation:

Crusaders were the people who wanted to bring about a change in the fields and areas of religion, political change and social change. They wanted to participate in the crusade for atoning for their sins and the wrong done by them.

Thus these were the people who believed in atonement, they believed that they could make up, do reparation for the wrong done by participating in the war of crusades.

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.
