Even though the slaves were freed after the Civil War, they still did not have the same rights that other Americans had. Women still had not won the right to vote, so they also did not have any say in who was going to be in the White House. The freed slaves became sharecroppers on land owned by their former owners and weren't much better off for it.

In the original Constitution did women have the right to vote?

No. The Constitution only uses the gender neutral "people" or "person" and never specifically mentions either sex, male or female. The Constitution was thus phrased to apply equally to both women and men.Contrary to common opinion, women were not denied the right to vote by the original Constitution--the individual states were left to determine their own requirements for voting. It was at the state level that women were unconstitutionally denied their right to vote. The states lost the power to exclude citizens from voting on the basis of sex with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.
