Answer:

John Brown

Explanation:

John Brown was a famous American abolitionist, who believed in armed insurrection as the only way to overthrow slavery in the United States. His efforts to end slave labor increased the tension between the North and the South during the period leading up to the American Civil War.

On October 16, 1859, supported by North abolitionists, Brown planned to create liberated zones in the hills of the western part of Virginia and with 20 of his followers he assaulted and took the federal arsenal of Harpers Ferry (present West Virginia) and He made control of the city. His group was surrounded by an Army company under the command of Colonel Robert E. Lee. Ten Brown men, including two of his sons, died in the ensuing battle, and he was wounded and forced to surrender. He was arrested and charged with treason and murder, executed on December 2, 1859, in Charles Town, West Virginia (then Virginia), thus becoming a martyr for the abolitionist cause for some, and an extremist for others.

How does the senator compare the struggle for women’s suffrage to the fight for American independence
mars1129 [50]

In year 1910 Senator Robert Owen passionately fought for the right of women to vote. In his struggle, he famously compared it to the fight for American Independence.

In his opinion, women made up half of all humanity and were equally involved in the development of a modern society, either by being a home marker or even working on the fields.

However, she received little recognition and did not fare well financially. According to him, the American Independence doctrine was ''all governments derive their just powers from the consent of  the governed'' but how can the United States be just, when it denies powers to half of all people living in the country.

According to him, for America to be just and a true democracy, it was evident that women should have an equal vote.
