Anthony form the American Equal Rights Association, an organization for white and black women and men dedicated to the goal of universal suffrage. <BR/>1868 <BR/>The Fourteenth Amendment is ratified, which extends to all citizens the protections of the Constitution against unjust state laws. This Amendment was the first to define "citizens" and "voters" as "male." <BR/>1869 <BR/>The women's rights movement splits into two factions as a result of disagreements over the Fourteenth and soon-to-be-passed Fifteenth Amendments. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony form the more radical, New York-based National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA). Lucy Stone, Henry Blackwell, and Julia Ward Howe organize the more conservative American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA), which is centered in Boston. In this same year, the Wyoming territory is organized with a woman suffrage provision. In 1890, Wyoming was admitted to the Union with its suffrage provision intact. <BR/>1870 <BR/>The Fifteenth Amendment enfranchises black men. NWSA refuses to work for its ratification, arguing, instead, that it be "scrapped" in favor of a Sixteenth Amendment providing universal suffrage. Frederick Douglass breaks with Stanton and Anthony over NWSA's position.Nancy Hankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17428253702914703243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26340222.post-1162083392066228142006-10-28T20:56:00.000-04:002006-10-28T20:56:00.000-04:00Really now--Have blacks and women been fighting ea...Really now--Have blacks and women been fighting each other for 200 years to see who goes first electorally? And does "blacks" include black women. I don't understand. Has this struggle pitched black men against black women--maybe??--or what? Or is it a contest between black men--Obama--vs white women--Hillary? Sounds a bit garbled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
