The requirement to own property for voting purposes began to be relaxed in various places during the 1700s, but a significant milestone came with the American Revolution. Many states began to eliminate property requirements for voting in the years following the war, particularly in the 1820s and 1830s. However, the push for broader suffrage and the eventual removal of property qualifications varied widely across different states and regions. Overall, the trend toward more inclusive voting rights accelerated throughout the early 19th century.
