The Alternate Fifteenth Amendment:
Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by any party on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

"the United States or by any State" becomes "any party". This would have a massive effect on Reconstruction; IOTL, Federal intervention against groups like the KKK was ruled unconstitutional by the supreme court, since it was done by paramilitary groups. The Democrat controlled Southern states refused to intervene since they knew it would benefit them not to. As a result, blacks lost the right to vote due to race-based violence. If the Supreme Court doesn't shoot down Federal action against paramilitary groups in the South due to the alt-15th Amendment, it's highly likely that the Democrat/Racist White "Redemption" wouldn't have occurred, and blacks would've kept voting rights after Reconstruction. Obviously, this has an enormous effect on America. The Democrats either die, or need to move to a more egalitarian view if they ever want to win an election again. In fact, the USA in general will be less racist because most blacks will be voting. My question is; how will this political shift effect America? The USA in the 1880-1920 era will be going through enormous political changes, and the fact that blacks are voting will enormously effect this change. How early could we see the first black President?
