Why did different states in the North provide varying voting rights to free black people?
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
The ideal answer should:
1. Define which states gave the most voting rights and other rights to free black people.
2. Explain the various economic factors that reduced northern state interest in slavery.
3. Explain that the lack of economic investment in slavery in some states produced smaller black populations over time and therefore less animosity by white people toward black people.
4. The New England states, particularly Massachusetts, extended the most rights to free black people.
5. Conclude that northern states outside of New England with the largest free black populations were also the states that placed the most restrictions on black male voting.
