Universal white manhood suffrage, a.k.a. universal white man's suffrage, is when all men (universally) can vote.

previously, only white men who owned land could vote; this means that only a select few rich white men could vote (and many of them didn't vote even though they COULD).

but as Jackson came to power (1828), more and more men could easily buy and own land; thus, more and more people COULD vote, and they did.

voting increased about 3x (27%-80%) from 1824-1840 (Jackson's election until van Buren's, his appointed successor, whom is like Jackson's puppet)

The White Man Suffrage was in the 1820s. This was when all the white adults were allowed to vote. Before this, only rich white men could vote.

I could be wrong, but I think that it means the right for all men (universal manhood) to vote (suffrage).
