In 1789, free black men could not universally vote in the United States. Voting rights were largely determined by state laws, and most states restricted suffrage to white male property owners. A few states allowed free black men to vote, but these instances were exceptions rather than the rule, and the general trend was toward disenfranchisement. Overall, the political landscape at the time favored white landowners, effectively excluding most free black men from the electoral process.
