Which president gave Native Americans the right to vote?

[Ben Kenobi]

Let's see how smart polytubbies are....

[giblets]

Many states prevented native americans from voting long after the federal government had recognized such a right. So not all of them got the right to vote at once.

And gribbler still can't choke it out.

BZZT! Zero.

Seeing as the question asked which president was responsible for giving them voting rights, one would presume that would apply to federal voting rights, no?

I would presume it applies to being able to vote.

So who was it Gribbler? Do you want to ask the audience? Phone a friend?

I'm not answering your irrelevant question.

Andrew Jackson gave them the right to go **** themselves.

[Al B. Sure!]

They got the right to vote in the 1920's so I'm assuming Calvin Coolidge.

I never understood the constitutionality of American Indians, South Asians, East Asians, etc. not being allowed to vote so long after the 15th amendment. Southern states went through hoops to deny Blacks but no Jim Crow was needed to limit the rights of Asians.

My favourite president. Yes, it is silent cal and the liberals will never admit this to be the case.

Given as it was Lincoln a republican, who freed the slaves, and Coolidge, a republican, who gave the natives voting rights, the real question remains - is it not the republicans who have supported freedom while the democrats supported slavery?

Until the southern strategy yes of course it was the Democrats on the dark side, but given that the parties basically swapped bases this is hardly something any Republican should gloat about today.

Yet it was Republicans who supported the Civil Rights act and democrats who did not. When did this mythical switch occur?

Still not buying the mythical switch. Lincoln's party was centered around business interests and the religious (temperance movement, abolitionism, etc.).

This. The GOP's core constituency has remained constant for pretty much its entire history.

Black voters obviously switched. Southern whites generally switched allegiances. The Democratic party probably changed more than the Republicans.
