I would like to point out that the United States was the second-to-last country in the Western Hemisphere to abolish chattel slavery So you can neither give us credit for starting the trend, nor make the headass argument we "finally ended it" (that was Brazil)

We are the only country where that abolition could only be accomplished by a huge, bloody civil war though Do you think that's something praiseworthy about us

Also the "common man" (i.e. white men with citizenship) explicitly did NOT have the right to vote Property qualifications for voting rights were common at the time of the Constitution, non-landowners didn't start voting in large numbers until the 1820s (Jacksonian democracy)

NC was the last state to drop the property qualification in 1856, but the lesser qualification of having to have earned enough money to pay income tax in the past year (registration required a tax return) remained in several states until the 20th century
