And have the slaves actually vote? That was not going to happen.

When did black people get the right to vote in the Northern states?

It varies by state, but for black men mostly by 1800. Some of these were rescinded, however. Massachusetts, for example, rescinded that in the aftermath of the Dredd Scott Decision, while Pennsylvania took it back in the 1830s.
