- 10. Struggle for the Vote Paul & John Cuffee refused to pay taxes when they were not allowed to vote (1778-1780). Served time in jail for non-payment, but took their case to the Supreme Judicial Court. The Court ruled in 1783 that as tax-payers the brothers had a right to vote. As late as 1860, only New England states granted full political rights to free blacks, rights secured through the persistence & organization of free black activists like Cuffee and their white allies. A silhouette of Paul Cuffee, the only known image of the man.
