Typically people voted for the elites in politics or people with big family names. The process to vote was also restricted to white men who had property and payed taxes. Their votes were typically by voice. This was until a revolution began for politics between 1820-1840 in which states started repealing these requirements and began instating direct methods of voting. This caused voting participation to rise to 80% of all adult white men because voting was now available to more white men than before.]]> 2023-03-02 20:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/400030621/t8llety5ix6fziy8/wish/2501671160 400030621 https://padlet.com/400030621/t8llety5ix6fziy8/wish/2508004331 The 15th amendment took place in the mid 1800's when congress passed the legislation in 1869 and ratified it into the constitution in 1870.
