How did Phyllis Schlafly and her supporters invoke the principle of freedom in the battle over the ERA?

History

IrinaK [193]3 years ago

When feminist groups in the 1960s and 1970s pushed for Congress to propose the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), conservatives such as Phyllis Schlafly opposed it as something that would harm women rather than help them, that would infringe on their rights and freedoms rather than grant them greater freedom.   The ERA stated that "equality of rights under the law shall not be abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."  A key point Schlafly focused on was that this would force women to be subject to military draft and military combat service in the same way as men.  This became the key issue regarding the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment.  House of Representatives gave its approval to the ERA in 1970; the Senate did so in 1972.   But the amendment failed to achieve ratification by the states, due to the influence of the movement led by Schlafly.

Roman

Much of the Roman diet, at least the privileged Roman diet, would be familiar to a modern Italian. They ate meat, fish, vegetables, eggs, cheese, grains (also as bread) and legumes. Meat included animals like dormice (an expensive delicacy), hare, snails and boar.

Modern

Top it off with bread and a dessert, and that sums up a typical American meal. When I lived in Texas it was BBQ meat, usually beef brisket, pork ribs or chicken with beans and cole slaw. ... The meat is usually smothered roast beef or pork. Sometimes a baked chicken is the centerpiece or a huge meatball.

djverab [1.8K]
They were all on the outskirt of the two sides and every one of them had motivations to go both routes in the contention. 
Maryland was a slave state and from multiple points of view held to an indistinguishable thoughts from the Confederates. The most compelling motivation that they went poorly them is on the grounds that the US government ensured there were a lot of troops there, so Washington DC wasn't cut off amidst Confederate land. 
Both Missouri and Kentucky had their own smaller than expected form of the Civil War going, where neighbors battled with neighbors.
