Are you implying slavery and disenfranchisement ended with the civil war?
The last tenet farmer was allowed to leave in the 1960s.
We still have more prisoners than any other country, mostly due to laws heuristically targeting black and poor people. Those prisoners can’t vote, but for representation purposes, their population counts towards the local town/district (which includes those prisoner’s guards). Weirdly similar to the way political representation for enslaved persons worked, minus the 3/5ths part.
