<span>By the criteria of Americans of that day, who knew nothing about "political correctness," it was entirely justifiable.  They believed that their system was the best that had ever been invented and that it should be spread throughout the world without delay.  (This is one of the reasons they supported foreign missionaries and "filibustering" expeditions.)  The easiest way to spread it, obviously, was into contiguous regions, and thence into regions contiguous to those, and so on.  One Congressman stated that he hoped to live to see the day when the Speaker of the House would recognize "the member from Canada, from Cuba, even the gentleman from Patagonia!"</span>

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

-The first women’s rights convention took place in Seneca Falls, New York, on July 19-20, 1848.

-In 1869 the movement split over disagreements about the 15th Amendment, which granted voting rights to African American men but not women.

-In 1913 Alice Paul organized NAWSA’s first women’s suffrage parade in Washington, D.C. The police failed to provide the suffragists with adequate protection, and spectators attacked the marchers. Paul formed a rival suffrage organization, the National Woman’s Party, in 1916.

-In 1916 Jeannette Rankin, a Republican from Montana, became the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress.

-In 1917 the National Woman’s Party organized protests outside the White House to pressure President Woodrow Wilson to support women’s suffrage.

-Thirty-three suffragists picketing outside the White House on Nov. 10, 1917, were arrested and jailed. They were fed maggot-infested food, beaten and tortured.

-The Republican Party was viewed as more supportive of women’s suffrage than Democrats until 1916, when both parties publicly supported state suffrage.

-Some 10 million women voted in 1920, a turnout rate of 36%, compared to 68% for men. Women voter turnout rates have gradually increased and exceeded male turnout rates since 1980, when 61.9% of women voted compared to 61.5% of men.
