Prior to 1865, only white men. Following the Civil War, black men could also vote (except where disenfranchised by various laws in the South). Women could not legally vote in most of the nation until 1920, although several tried. They were able to vote earlier in countries such as France and New Zealand.

This is clearly proven wrong today, but it was a common belief that women weren't smart.
