Question

How did the Civil War help the cause of women's suffrage?

Answer 1

The answer I got from the test was C.

Answer 2

The correct answer is alternative C) "Women were able to prove they could do many things to help outside the home."

During the war, forces of the army were made of men, so women back home had to take over responsibilities and duties previously attributed to men.

After the war was over, the work women did proved they were able to help and have responsibilities not only at home. It ultimately helped them with suffrage.
