I'll offer you some examples of arguments made, based on actual documents from 1911.   Then you can do some comparative analysis.

Arguments advanced against women's suffrage 
... Suffrage is a privilege, not a right.  Politics is no place for a woman, so for women to be involved in politics is really no privilege for them.
... Men have a responsibility to care for women, and guiding government is one of the ways men do that.  They also go to war and will do whatever is needed to protect and benefit women.  That's how we best give women a place of honor.
... A woman's place is in the home, and from there she can best shape the future of the nation by guiding children there. Or women can guide children as teachers in schools.
... Divorce and crime and other unwanted results will increase if we upend traditional roles and get women involved in politics.
... God has assigned different roles to men and women, and we should respect those different roles.

Arguments advanced for women's suffrage 
... Women and men are equal intellectually.
... A democracy governs by the consent of the governed. Women are part of the governed, and so their active consent by voting should be sought.
... If women rightly are involved in the governing of the home, why should they not have the right to be involved in the way the larger family--society--is governed?
... In any states or countries where women have been given the right to vote, those laws have stood and have not been repealed.  If such laws were mistakes, those states or nations would have pursued repeal.
... Women who are informed and involved in regard to public affairs are not "less womanly," but actually make better companions for their husbands and teachers for their children.

One distinction of the american infantry during the revolutionary war era was its use of Volley Fire.

Volley Fire is a military tactice developed with the advent of rifles and guns in the 16-17th Century.

In this tactic, a line of riflemen fire together and while they reload their weapons, another line of soldiers fire their weapons.

This is done to ensure constant firing, to make up for lost time in reloading and make up for missed shots.

The aim is to consistently be on the offensive.

It is most closely associated with the Dutch forces but was used by American forces against the British.

B.

On September 8, 1900, a Category 4 hurricane ripped through Galveston, Texas, killing an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 people. At the time of the 1900 hurricane, Galveston, nicknamed the Oleander City, was filled with vacationers. Sophisticated weather forecasting technology didn’t exist at the time, but the U.S. Weather Bureau issued warnings telling people to move to higher ground. However, these advisories were ignored by many vacationers and residents alike. A 15-foot storm surge flooded the city, which was then situated at less than 9 feet above sea level, and numerous homes and buildings were destroyed. The hurricane remains the worst weather-related disaster in U.S. history in terms of loss of life.
