Final answer:

The Reconstruction amendments were intended to free slaves and protect the rights and equality of black men, securing civil rights gains for African Americans post-World War II.


Explanation:

The Reconstruction amendments sought to:

  • Free slaves and support the rights and equality of black men through the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, granting citizenship and voting rights to black men, thus ensuring equal protection under the law.
  • Protect the freedmen from vengeful southern whites by passing amendments aimed at securing civil rights and empowering African Americans.
  • Secure civil rights gains for African Americans primarily after World War II through various measures including legal actions, Congressional acts, and direct actions such as desegregation orders.
