Why were poorer citizens excluded from voting until the 1820s?

History
1 answer:
Papessa [141]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

it was believed that they didn't have the education or experience to vote wisely

Explanation:

Prior to the 1820's a requirement of the United States constitution was that citizens were to have property qualifications before they could vote. They were to own a property in the United States and regularly pay their taxes before they could vote. Apparently, poor citizens could not meet these qualifications. They also were neither educated nor experienced to vote.

By the 1820's many states dropped the requirement to own properties before voting and this resulted in more participation in voting.

Where is Lincoln trying to be conciliatory to the south?
nevsk [136]
After the surrender of the Confederate Army, Lincoln is extremely conciliatory to the South. The reason why he does this is because he wants the Confederate States to rejoin the United States in a way that will help the country move forward peacefully.

With this in mind, Lincoln introduces the 10% plan. Only 10% of citizens within a particular state had to vote in agreement to join the United States again. The only condition of rejoining the US that the citizens had to agree to was the promise to never secede from the US again. This plan made it easy for the Southern states to rejoin.
