Well blacks could vote in 5 of the free states prior to 1860.

If that is true (and given your track record of willful deception and your known inability to cite credible sources, I am disinclined to take your word for it that it is), it was also the case that AT LEAST five northern states would not even allow blacks to legally set foot inside their borders prior to 1860 (Source: Abstracts on the laws of the several states pertaining to negroes, Record Group 160, National Archives and Records Administration). Illinois, Oregon, Iowa, and some others all fit in this category and your fake god Lincoln did not object to it when his own state legislature enacted the anti-black provisions.

What did that have to do with blacks voting? I'd declare a squack alert except that I'm not sure what your current definition of 'tu quoque' is.
