"I say, now is the time to press this right. It may be asked, "Why do you want it? Some men have got along very well without it.
Women have not this right." Shall we justify one wrong by another? This is a sufficient answer. Shall we at this moment justify the deprivation of the Negro of the right to vote, because someone else is deprived of that privilege?" Which amendment satisfied the goal described in this statement?

The nineteenth for the right for women to vote.. In theory, the 15th Amendment allowed former (black) slaves to vote. But the restrictions were so ugly that few could do it. There were literacy tests, poll taxes (google this), and other restrictions. It was not until 1965 that the vote was granted to any citizen of the United States. It took 2 acts of congress and numerous supreme court cases to bring this about. This is a very important amendment and you maybe should google it's history.
