@fedwards9965@paninid BUT, the real value of saying "white man's suffrage", as absurd as it is for us in 2024, is because it leads right up to the way southern elites lied to their population to get them to fight in the civil war.
The southern elites pitched the war as "equality for white men" to states where ~70% of working white men worked in slave based industry.
THOSE people didn't think that war was about slavery. They believed they'd escape poverty, eg. white men's suffrage 🤮
