| Research Abstract |
This study aims to clarify the origin of racism of American democracy by examining the black suffrage problem in the 19^<th> century from the point of the whiteness study. In particular, this study focuses on the disfranchisement of black suffrage in the free states and considers the reasons of it in relation to white suffrage problem. As a result, it is made clear that this phenomenon was an expression of popular racial consciousness that regarded suffrage as a symbol of independence and sought to make it the privilege of "white".
