Despite the nation's growing democratic spirit, a great many Americans did not have the right to vote. They included women, Native Americans, and the vast majority of African Americans. Slaves had no political rights at all. Most northern states had allowed free African American men to vote. In the 1820s, many of these states took away that right. By 1830, only a few New England states permitted African American men to vote on equal terms with white men. In New York, African American men had to own property in order to vote, but white men didn't.

How did voting rights change in the 1820s and 1830?

You didn't have to own land.During the 1810s and 1820s, many states rewrote their constitutions. The new state constitutions expanded the electorate by abolishing the property requirement. In most states, any white man who paid a tax could vote and hold office. These changes increased participation in elections. Male voter turnout that had been less than 30 percent in the elections of the early 1800s reached almost 80 percent in 1840.

What is electoral volatility?

Electoral volatility refers to the degree of change in voter behavior between elections. It can be measured by shifts in party support, voter turnout, or the number of competitive races. High levels of electoral volatility suggest a less stable political environment, with voters being more willing to switch their allegiance between different parties or candidates in consecutive elections.
