Exactly...the south was really late to the game.

In some Southern states, African-American women were unable to freely exercise their right to vote until the 1960s. One of my favorite men, Honest Abe Lincoln was a Republican. Just before his death, Lincoln gave a speech in which he mentioned the possibility of giving black Union soldiers and wealthy black elites the right to vote.
