How was suffrage extended in the first half of the 19th century?
Suffrage has changed extensively since the first United States elections. In 1868, the passing of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution declared that all persons born or naturalized are citizens of the US and of the state where they reside, extending voting rights to these people. In 1870, the 15th Amendment guaranteed voting rights to all male Americans, regardless of their race, color, or previous condition of servitude, granting voting rights to African-American men and any freed slaves. In 1920, the 19th Amendment granted suffrage to women, and in 1971, the 26th Amendment lowered the age of suffrage to 18 years old. Despite these changes to the US Constitution, not all Americans have equal voting rights. The right to enforce and regulate suffrage falls to the states themselves, and some states still have strict policies on the suffrage of individuals or groups.

What does the term suffrage refers to?
Universal suffrage (also universal adult suffrage, general suffrage or common suffrage) consists of the extension of the right to vote to adult citizens (or subjects) as a whole, though it may also mean extending said right to minors (Demeny voting) and non-citizens. Although suffrage has two necessary components, the right to vote and opportunities to vote, the term universal suffrage is associated only with the right to vote and ignores the other aspect, the frequency that an incumbent government consults the electorate. Where universal suffrage exists, the right to vote is not restricted by race, sex, belief, sexual orientation, gender identity, wealth, or social status. Historically, universal suffrage often in fact refers to universal adult male suffrage.

What year did Universal suffrage for all citizens were fully achieved in the us?
It occurred slowly, state by state. Originally, most states required some property ownership to vote. According to David Montgomery's Citizen Worker, "Between the 1770s and the 1840s" all states gave white male wage earners the right to vote. Rhode Island was the last to do so (p. 14). (I think that's probably the answer you're looking for.)Even though most northern states were abolishing slavery at this same time, free black men were usually either barred from voting or required to own even more property than white voters. This situation lasted roughly until the Suffrage Amendment of 1870, which technically enfranchised all men regardless of race. The Southern states, of course, found various creative ways to keep blacks from the polls until the 1960s.Even today, in most states, convicted felons are not allowed to vote. So, technically, we still don't have "universal manhood suffrage."

Which was the MOST important development in voting rights in the US in the early 1800s?
The most important development in voting rights in the US during the early 1800s was the gradual removal of property requirements for white male voters. This shift, particularly evident in the 1820s and 1830s, expanded suffrage significantly, allowing a larger portion of the white male population to participate in elections. It marked a move toward more democratic practices and laid the groundwork for future voting rights movements, even as it largely excluded women and people of color.
