States determined who could vote and so sorry but "Only white men age 21 and older who own land can vote" was not the case in all states.
In New Jersey for example women could vote if they owned personal property of 50 pounds. Which was not very much. Free blacks could also vote, subject to the same restrictions.
The idea of ownership of land being the deciding factor in all states is so much hooey. In the south land was often the deciding factor during the first few years. But slowly that factor was done away with until in 1856 it was done away with entirely.
Me thinks I wish you would you stop misrepresenting me!
I said:
“ I’ve heard the original founding fathers had already realized the danger of Allowing just anyone the vote. That you had to be some sort of a property owner which back in those days basically meant you were an earner not a grifter.
Likely some exceptions probably existed…”
You said I said “ only white men under age 21 and older who own land can vote”. No I sourced a website that said that, it supports what I said.
You said “The idea of ownership of land being the deciding factor in all states is so much hooey…”
YES good thing I didn’t say that!
I said “ some sort of a property owner … definition of property—-” a thing or things belonging to someone; possessions collectively.” That which of course would include the state you mentioned where you had to own 50 pounds.
Same as some states allowing blacks or women to vote. I never said some states didn’t, again I offered sources to show in a great preponderance of cases one had to be a PROPERTY OWNER…land IS property.
I’m done here…won’t argue just for the sake of arguing, nothing you said refutes a single thing I said.
