So that each presidential candidate could hold that over their heads and get all the black people's vote by claiming "when I'm president, black people will own land".

Nah, that's just the way today is.

Back then, ownership was power and so giving land would be like offering up a piece of America to the black people. Voting is more of a rouse. It's intangible and chances were, they would just vote for whomever they were told to do so.

As with the first thing I said though, that would be suicide back then for any white candidate because the racist south would lynch him before on the very podium he campaigned from.
