During the time of President Andrew Jackson, the group that gained suffrage was men who did not own property. Jackson's presidency (1829-1837) was marked by a democratization of voting rights, particularly for white men, as many states began to eliminate property qualifications for voting. This allowed a broader segment of the male population, regardless of property ownership, to participate in elections. However, it is important to note that women and African American men still faced significant barriers to voting during this period.
