Why were women able to vote in western states like Wyoming before the rest of the country?

History

Wyoming was only a territory when it began to allow women to vote in 1869, which led to a cascade of other western states allowing the same. Before the 19th Amendment, outside of New Mexico, every territory and state in the West allowed women to vote. However, it was not because Western states such as Wyoming thought that women deserved this privilege. It was a time of rapid Westward expansion, and in 1869 Wyoming had barely been able to become a territory. They added that these laws were aimed exclusively at white women. One lawmaker in Wyoming even tried to water down the bill by adding a text that explicitly gave women of other races the right to vote. But his amendment failed "because everyone said, 'Look, we know we're only talking about white women here.'" After Wyoming passed the law, states around the West saw it as an opportunity for them, too. And interestingly, even though Wyoming was the first to grant women’s suffrage, Utah was the first place where women cast a vote because their elections came first.

In paragraph of at least five sentences, summarize President Truman’s perspective on using an atomic bomb as a weapon of war aga
Furkat [3]
President Truman had a very difficult decision to make in terms of dropping the atomic bomb. Before dropping the bomb, Truman was hoping to get an unconditional surrender from Japan after the demands made at the Potsdam Conference. However, Japan refused.

Instead of dropping the atomic bomb, he also considered an invasion of mainland Japan. However, this invasion was estimated to have millions of casualties total and would have resulted in the deaths of thousands of Allied forces and Japanese military personnel.

Ultimately Truman decides to drop bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, effectively ending World War II. Even though this was a weapon of massive destruction, he argued that this actually saved lives. He used the estimated number of deaths/casualties from the possible land invasion to justify his decision.
