Which group of Americans received greater political power including voting rights in the 1800s?

In the 1800s, white men, particularly those who owned property, received greater political power and voting rights compared to other groups. Reforms in the latter part of the century led to the expansion of suffrage primarily for white men, while women, African Americans, and Native Americans faced significant barriers to voting. The passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870 aimed to grant African American men the right to vote, but discriminatory practices like literacy tests and poll taxes continued to disenfranchise many. Overall, the political landscape of the 1800s largely favored white men.
