Women's Suffrage
Women didn't have rights at one point and time; they had to
fight for them. It is now an amendment, it is called Women’s suffrage. It was a
slow start, but at least we got there. Some people thought it was unfeminine
and immoral and threatened women suffragists. This was around the time that the
Civil War had just ended and that slavery was abolished. Also, this gave the African American males
the right to vote. There were debates over the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments; this split the suffrage movements in two. There were organizations
that were made to support women’s suffrage. One of the organizations was
National Woman Suffrage Association; this association was founded by Susan B.
Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. One group wanted to focus on making this a
constitutional amendment. Later on it because an amendment.
