The women’s movement experienced
the most success in their efforts to gain equal voting rights during the 1920s.
The campaign of women for their ability to vote began decades before the Civil

contribute to the war effort. This helped them point out that women are just as
equally capable as men.
The Gilded Age in the history of the United States of America, is the period after the Civil War and Reconstruction, from the 1870s to the 1890s, when the country experienced an unprecedented economic, industrial and demographic expansion, especially in the North and West, but also a great social conflict and great economic and social inequalities. In the field of the Congress, a major scandal ventured into it with the Crédit Mobilier of America outrage of 1872 and disrespected the White House amid the Grant Administration (1869– 1877).
This debasement isolated the Republican Party into two unique groups: the Stalwarts driven by Roscoe Conkling and the Half-Breeds driven by James G. Blaine. There was a feeling that administration empowered political machines mediated in the economy and that the subsequent bias, remuneration, wastefulness, waste, and defilement were having negative outcomes. According to this cause, the major parties in the country were contesting for the presidency in a tight race. Presidential elections were so firmly challenged that a slight bump could tip the race in the upside of either gathering, and Congress was set apart by political stalemate. With help from Union veterans, representatives, experts, skilled workers, and bigger ranchers, the Republicans reliably conveyed the North in presidential elections. Consequently. The Democrats, frequently driven by Irish Catholics, had a base among Catholics, poorer agriculturists, and customary gathering individuals.

Furthermore, the south of the country was facing serious economic and lack of employment problems; by far most of African Americans lived in the South, and as the guarantees of liberation and remaking blurred, they entered the nadir of race relations. Every Southern state and city passed Jim Crow laws that were a result between the late nineteenth century and 1964 when they were canceled by Congress.
