it wasn't a one time thing

It depended what state you lived in and if you were free or in bondage. And if you owned property. Each state had its own voting laws, for example in 1800 if you were white, but didn't own property, you couldn't vote.

If you're looking for some sort of important date, August 6th 1965 gave us the Voting Rights act which was kind of important, look it up if you'd like

Felonies cannot vote, misdemeanors can however.

If you are not sure what those are, google them.
